  • 2 tbsp honey
  • A handful of dill
  • A large handful of sorrel

You'll need
  • Medium pan with lid
  • Large frying pan
Step by step this way
  • 1.

    Fill a medium-sized pan with water. Scrub the potatoes (no need to peel) and cut them into bite-sized chunks. Slide the potatoes into the pan and add a good pinch of salt. Set the pan on a high heat, cover and bring to the boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook the potatoes for 15-20 mins, till soft enough to easily crush with a fork.

  • 2.

    Meanwhile, trim the roots off the spring onions and separate the green and white parts. Thinly slice the green parts and slide them into a small bowl for later. Thinly slice the white parts and slide them into a separate large bowl. Chop the fish pie mix into small pieces and slide it into the bowl with the white spring onions. Add a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Grate in the lemon zest. Tip in the flour and the breadcrumbs. Crack in the eggs and stir to combine. Set aside.

  • 3.

    Spoon 1 tbsp each wholegrain mustard and honey into a small bowl. Finely chop the dill and add it to the bowl. Pour in 1 tbsp olive oil and add a little salt and pepper. Squeeze in the juice from half of the lemon and stir well. Set aside.

  • 4.

    Roughly chop the sorrel. Peel and grate the garlic. When the potatoes are tender, drain and let them to steam dry in the colander for 1 min. Tip the potatoes back into the pan and add the green spring onion ends, the sorrel and the garlic. Squeeze in the juice from the remaining lemon half and add 1 tbsp olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and roughly crush together using a fork or masher. Pop the lid on the pan and set aside while you cook the fritters.

  • 5.

    Warm 1 tbsp olive oil in a large frying pan on a medium-high heat. When hot, add large spoonfuls of the fritter mix to the pan, using the back of the spoon to flatten the fritters out a little. Fry for 3-4 mins on each side, till golden and crispy. You may need to do this in batches – keep the cooked fritters warm in a low oven while you fry the rest.

  • 6.

    Divide the crushed potatoes between a couple of warm plates and add the fritters. Spoon over the honey mustard and dill sauce to serve.
