Twice Laid is a traditional British recipe that originated in Scotland, also known as Cullen skink and migrated to other parts of the UK. It is a simple dish made with a flaky white fish, such as cod, haddock, or whiting, that is poached in milk and seasoned with salt and pepper. It is served with mashed potatoes that are shaped into balls, coated in breadcrumbs, and fried until golden brown. The name Twice Laid refers to the two layers of the dish, fish, and potato.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 200°C and grease a baking dish.
2.	Season the cod with salt and pepper and place it in the baking dish.
3.	Add enough milk to just cover the fish and a little fat over the top.
4.	Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
5.	Remove from the oven and let it cool.
6.	Meanwhile, mix the mashed potatoes with the egg and shape them into balls.
7.	Roll the balls in the breadcrumbs until coated evenly.
8.	Pan-fry the potato balls in a frying pan until golden brown on all sides.
9.	Serve the Twice Laid by placing the fried potato balls over the baked cod.
