Method

  • step 1

    Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Boil the potatoes for 10-12 mins or until half-cooked. Drain.

  • step 2

    Meanwhile, heat a little oil in a large non-stick frying pan. Brown the mince in 2 batches, breaking up any lumps with the back of a wooden spoon. Tip all the mince back into the pan, add the cinnamon and fry for 1 min. Pour in the tomato sauce and simmer for 5 mins. Slice the potatoes as thinly as you can without breaking the slices.

  • step 3

    Layer the mince and potatoes in a 1.5-litre baking dish. Season each layer and finish with a layer of potatoes. Spread the cheese or white sauce on top and bake for 35 mins until golden and the potatoes are tender.

Well made this for tea last night, adding leeks, mushrooms and carrots. To say we were totally underwhelmed is an understatement. Even made a lovely manchengo cheese sauce to top it.

Really tasty quick dish.... did a few adaptions though! Sliced the potatoes before boiling... only took abt 5 mins then strained. Added leeks to the lamb mix with a basic pasta sauce and definitely don't miss out the cinnamon. Layer up as suggested then topped with a tub of creme fraiche with…

The whole family enjoyed this! I made a couple of adjustments - firstly I had leftover roast lamb to use up so this replaced the mince. Secondly I made my tomato sauce and included red onion and red pepper. Really nice basic recipe that can be altered to suit your tastes or what you have in.

I’ve made this several times and the potato is always undercooked. I made it again tonight but after 30 minutes, I took it out of the oven, covered it with foil, turned the heat up to 240 degrees and cooked for another 15 minutes. Seemed to do the trick!
