Instructions

  1. Skin, bone & break up the fish into flakes.
  2. Roughly chop potatoes & finely chop onion.
  3. Slowly heat milk in a saucepan almost to a boiling point.
  4. In a med to lrg sized non-stick saucepan (while the milk is heating), melt butter & saute onion over med-heat till soft. Do not allow it to brown.
  5. Sprinkle flour over onion, stir well & cook for 1-2 minutes. Gradually add warmed milk, stirring continuously. Simmer for 3-4 min, stirring often.
  6. Add flaked fish & stir briskly to break up the fish flakes completely. Season liberally w/salt & pepper.
  7. Add potatoes & stir gently. Cook over low-heat till heated through.
  8. Spoon into 4 bowls & sprinkle ea serving with 1/2 tbsp chives. Serve hot w/dark rye bread & butter.
  9. UPDATE: I have made this recipe now & it actually comes together faster than the time stated, esp w/the fish & potatoes cooked well-ahead & just heated in the cream sauce. Pls take *SEASON LIBERALLY* to heart. I used McCormick Lemon Pepper & Seasoning Salt liberally in the prep, we added more at the table & it was perfect w/this!
