- 800 g Potatoes(peeled and cut into chunks)
- 1 medium Onion(finely chopped)

👨🍳 Инструкции
- 1
Place the potato chunks in a pot, cover with cold water, add a pinch of salt, and bring to a boil. Cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain well.
- 2
While the potatoes are cooking, place the fish fillets in a separate pot, cover with water or milk, and poach gently until just cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain the fish and flake it into bite-sized pieces. Reserve about 100ml of the poaching liquid if using water.
- 3
In the same pot used for the fish (or a clean saucepan), melt the butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- 4
Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to form a roux. Gradually whisk in the warmed milk (and reserved poaching liquid, if used) until smooth. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens.
- 5
Gently fold the flaked fish and chopped dill into the béchamel sauce. Season with salt, white pepper, and nutmeg (if using).

Add the drained, cooked potatoes to the fish mixture. Gently mash and stir everything together until well combined and creamy. Avoid over-mashing; some texture is desirable.
💡 Профессиональные советы: You can mash the potatoes separately and then fold them into the fish mixture for more control over texture. - 7
Serve hot, traditionally with rúgbrauð (Icelandic rye bread) and a side of butter.
💡 Профессиональные советы
- ✓Using a mix of cod and haddock provides a good balance of flavor and texture.
- ✓Warming the milk before adding it to the roux helps prevent lumps.
- ✓The consistency should be creamy but not soupy. Adjust with a little more milk if too thick.
