Instructions

0/3
  1. Boil the potatoes in chunks. Poach the cod in lightly salted water for 6 minutes and flake it.

  2. Soften the leek in the butter, stir in the flour, then the milk; simmer until thick and season with white pepper and nutmeg.

  3. Gently fold in the fish and potatoes, scatter with chives and serve with rye bread and lemony grated carrot.

Chef's tips

  • •It's traditionally made with lightly salted cod; fresh cod keeps the salt down.

Storage
