Steps

1

Thin cut the potato. I used a mandolin. Place the potato slices in cold water.
2

Rinse the potato to remove excess starch.
3

Chop the onion and add to a pan with the garlic and a dash of oil. Cook until the onion softens.
4

Add the meat and cook until brown.
5

Add the tomatoes, peas and sweetcorn. Also add the gravy if you are adding it.
6

Simmer for 10 minutes. While the meat is simmering steam/boil the potato until the slices just start to go soft.
7

When cooked, cool the potato by adding it to a bowl of water.
8

Place a third of the meat in the bottom of a large oven dish. Cover with a layer of the par cooked potato. An option here is to cover the potato with cheese.
9

Repeat twice more. Then cover the top layer with cheese.
10

Place in the middle of an oven pre-heated to 200c. Cook for 30 minutes. Turn the oven down to 160c and cook for another 30 minutes. Until the top is crispy.

Enjoy.
