Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   Cut the cleaned scallops in half if they are large and simmer in milk, with salt and pepper, for 15 minutes. Strain, but reserve the milk.

2. 2

   Melt the butter in a saucepan, add the flour, and mix well, then gradually stir in the warmed milk, seeing that it is free from lumps. Add the mushrooms, sherry, and scallops.

3. 3

   Put into an ovenproof dish and cover the top with mashed potatoes. (You may wish to mix the potatoes with a bit of milk so they can be spread like an icing over the scallops.).

4. 4

   Dot with additional butter and bake at 350* oven until the top is gently browned, about 20-30 minutes.

5. 5

   Garnish with parsley.
