    Instructions

    (Stops screen from sleeping)

    1 Preheat oven to 180°C. Brown mince in a pan. Add onions and cook gently until soft. Stir in parsley and tomatoes. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes.

    2 While mince is cooking, make cheese sauce. Heat oil in a small saucepan. Stir in flour. Cook gently for a minute. Gradually add milk while whisking continuously for a lump-free sauce. Stir in grated cheese.

    3 Grease a 1 1/2 litre ovenproof dish. Place a layer of sliced potato in the bottom. Spoon a little meat sauce over potato, then top with another layer of potato. Continue layering in this manner until mixture is used. Finish with a layer of potato.

    4 Pour cheese sauce over potato dish and gently shake dish so sauce works its way through. Top with extra cheese. Bake for 1 1/2 hours or until potatoes are cooked. Serve with seasonal vegetables.

    HFG tip

    Potatoes start to sprout if stored in humid conditions above 7°C, and in low temperatures the starch in potatoes turns to sugar and the flavour changes. So keep potatoes in a well-ventilated, cool, dark place – not in the fridge. A sturdy paper bag or cardboard box under the sink is an ideal place to store this root vegetable.
