Ingredients
- 750g new potatoes, cut into large chunks
 - 100g baby spinach
 - 2 smoked haddock fillets, about 600g
 - 700ml whole milk
 - 2 bay leaves
 - ½ tsp black peppercorns
 - 1 egg yolk
 - 2 tbsp vegetable oil
 - 25g plain flour
 - lemon wedges, to serve
 - 250ml mayonnaise
 - 50g fresh horseradish, grated (or from a jar)
 - juice and zest ½ lemon
 
Method
Cook the potatoes in boiling salted water for 10-15 mins until tender. Drain in a colander over the spinach so the leaves wilt. Return the potatoes to the pan to steam-dry, then roughly crush with a fork. Leave to cool.
In a separate pan, poach the haddock in the milk with the bay leaves and peppercorns for 4 mins. Turn off the heat and leave to cook for a few mins more until the flesh flakes. Remove to a plate and break into large pieces, discarding the skin and any bones.
Mix the cooled potato, wilted spinach and haddock with the egg yolk and 3 tbsp of the poaching milk. Form into 4 chunky cakes and chill in the fridge, covered, for at least 30 mins, or overnight. Mix all the mayonnaise ingredients together and chill.
Heat the oil in a large pan over a medium heat. Sprinkle flour over the fish cakes and fry for about 5-6 mins on each side until golden and heated through. Serve with lemon wedges and a dollop of the horseradish mayo.
