Directions:
Soak the haddock in warm water for a half hour, skin side down. Pour off the water, and put the haddock in a buttered ovenproof casserole dish. Tuck potatoes and onions amidst the fish, and pour cream over until fish is barely submerged. Dot with butter, sprinkle with paprika, and bake loosely covered in a 350º oven for about 60 min. until potatoes are soft.
Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Polly remembers her mother making this ancestral Scottish recipe when she was a little girl, perhaps to please Bompa, whose family came from Scotland. Polly often made if for us as we were growing up. Smoked haddock is getting harder to find, and typically comes frozen these days, but the dish remains delicious.
