These Scotch eggs from Anna Søgaard are filled with beautiful, runny Freshlay Farms Golden Yolker® eggs, and are wrapped in a mixture of smoked haddock and potato rather than the traditional sausagemeat. They're served on a bed of peppery watercress, and make a delicious lunch.
Preheat the oven to 200°C
Bake the potatoes until they are tender all the way through, about 30 minutes to 1 hour. Once cooked, scoop the flesh out of the potato skins and into a bowl
While the potatoes are baking, bring the milk up to a simmer and season with salt
Flake the smoked haddock into the milk and poach until completely cooked through
Remove the fish from the milk. Once the potato is cooked, mix the fish with the potato in a mixing bowl until it comes together
Season with salt and set aside to cool
Boil the eggs for 6 minutes, then peel
Carefully wrap each peeled egg with the potato/fish mixture, making sure it is fully encased
Then, carefully panné the covered eggs by tossing each one first in flour, then egg yolk and then panko
Heat the oil in a pot to 175°C
Carefully fry the eggs one at a time in the oil the until golden brown. Remove from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towel
Season with flaky salt and served sliced in half on top of a bed of watercress
