Night-ferry fish pie with potato rosti
Two fish in a mustardy leek sauce under a grated-potato lid. Rest ten minutes. Serve with something sharp and green. A sharp green salad or peas with mint. Cream, leek and potato want something that cuts. Chablis or Muscadet; a dry martini with a lemon twist; sparkling apple with a long lemon peel if skipping alcohol.
This is the base recipe: one batch, 6 portions. Nothing has been scaled, because there is no committed plan for this dish. Build and commit a plan that includes it and this card multiplies itself to the batch count the plan computes.

Multiplying the ingredients is the easy half. These are the parts of the recipe that the batch count does not move.
- Cooking time
- 35 minutes in the oven, whatever fraction of the tray is filled. A half-full tray browns faster, so look at it sooner rather than trusting the clock.
Wants the end of the evening: 20 minutes of grace, and most of that is optimism.

- Read the whole method before you shop. This is a planning recipe for night-ferry fish pie with potato rosti, not a certified kitchen test.
- Amounts below are one batch: 6 portions. Build a plan and this card scales itself to it.
- Oven occupancy is 35 minutes per tray. Do not start this tray if the day-of oven window is already full.
- Tray up and bake. Hold only as long as the fixture hold time.
- Holds about 20 minutes once finished. After that, quality drops — do not invent extra time.
- Drink pairing: Chablis or Muscadet; a dry martini with a lemon twist; sparkling apple with a long lemon peel if skipping alcohol.
- Confirm every ingredient and every allergen yourself. Dietary tags are planning filters, not safety guarantees.
Day-of only. Do not make this ahead and invent a hold.
Base recipe: one batch, 6 portions. Nothing has been scaled, because no plan was open. Cooking time does not move with the batch: 35 minutes in the oven either way.
Not every line here was multiplied by the same number. Why doubling a recipe is not multiplication
