WHITE CHEESE SAUCE
2 cups milk
3 tbsp butter
2 tbsp flour
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
1/2 onion
salt and pepper to taste

2 cups cooked mashed kumara (smooth enough to use through a piping bag)

Preparation Instructions

In 1 tbsp butter saute onions until glassy. Remove from pan and set aside. Make white sauce in the same saucepan over a low heat by melting butter, add flour and cook until it froths, stirring constantly. Gradually add milk allowing the sauce to thicken between each addition. When thick add cheese, onion and smoked fish. Mix to combine and season. Grease muffin tins and insert chosen case. Spoon in the smoked fish mixture. Using a piping bag squeeze the mashed kumara over the top of the smoked fish mixture.
