This is a lovely recipe thanks to Ray McVinnie and it really is delicious.
4 large floury potatoes, peeled and diced 3cm 4 tablespoons olive oil 2 leeks (white parts only), thinly sliced finely grated zest of 1 large lemon salt and freshly ground black pepper 2 tablespoons chopped flat-leafed parsley 500g flaky puff pastry 250g skinned and boned smoked fish, flaked 50g butter 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped ½ cup pitted Kalamata olives 1 beaten egg for brushing lemon wedges to serve
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Boil the potatoes in plenty of well-salted water until tender, drain and allow to steam dry. Cool, mash and reserve.
Heat the oil over moderate heat then add the leeks and zest. Gently panfry, without browning, for about 10 minutes until soft.
Taste and season, remove from the heat, cool then stir in the parsley.
Roll out half the pastry into a rectangle about 40cm by 20cm. Leaving a 2cm border, spread the mashed potatoes on the pastry then place the leeks and smoked fish on top. Mash together the butter and garlic and dot on the fish. Sprinkle the olives on top.
Brush the 2cm border with egg.
Roll out the remaining pastry on a floured surface into the same shape. Cut parallel lines 2cm apart across, leaving a 2cm edge of uncut pastry all around. Lifting with a rolling pin, place the pastry on top of the filling, fold the edges together and crimp with a fork. Brush the top with egg and bake for 30 minutes until well cooked. Serve in slices with lemon wedges for squeezing. Serves 8.
