Ingredients

2 lb russet potatoes
2 lb mixed firm white fish fillets
2 cup milk
2 bay leaves
3 tbsp unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic
1 small leek
1/3 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1 pinch nutmeg
4 hard boiled eggs
1/2 bunch fresh parsley

Steps

Peel and cut the potatoes, then boil them in salted water for 15 to 20 minutes until tender.
Heat the milk with the bay leaves in a saucepan, add the fish, and poach gently for 8 to 10 minutes.
Drain and mash the potatoes with 1 tablespoon butter, salt, and pepper.
Melt the remaining butter in a skillet, cook the leek and garlic for 5 minutes, then stir in the flour.
Remove the bay leaves, gradually stir the warm milk into the leek mixture, and cook until thickened.
Fold in the fish, chopped eggs, parsley, nutmeg, salt, and pepper, then spread the mixture in a baking dish.
Top with mashed potatoes and cheddar, then bake at 400 F for 25 to 30 minutes until bubbling and the fish reaches 145 F.
