1. Halve the potatoes if large. Tip into a pan of boiling salted water with the garlic, simmer for about 20 mins until they are on the brink of collapse, then drain. Meanwhile, cover the haddock with milk. Bring to a simmer, then poach the fish slowly for 5 mins until it flakes easily. Drain fish, but reserve the milk.
2. While everything is still warm, crush the potatoes and garlic with a masher. Flake and mix in the fish, add 2 tbsp of the poaching milk and 3 tbsp olive oil, then mix well - you should have a loose, rich mash. Taste for seasoning. Stir in the chives and set aside. Cook the beans in boiling water, then drain and toss with the remaining oil and the shallot. Serve a large spoonful of crush with the French bean salad and a few slices of toast.

New way with potaoes

Squashing cold, cooked new potatoes flat onto a baking tray, drizzling with oil and roasting in a hot oven until crisp.

  This made a quick and delicious lunch or light main meal. I made it a few times in quick succession so my family got sick of it, but I didn't.

  I was quite disappointed with this recipe. It didn't look very appetising and the taste wasn't wonderful either. I wouldn't make it again.

  I love this dish - hearty and healthy. I used some yellow smoked fish as well to make it look more interesting. This dish is very simple and worthwhile. Leftovers can be easily be adapted into fishcakes.
