1 Maris Piper potato, thinly sliced (approx. 175g)

A drizzle of olive oil

1 onion, diced

200ml vegetable stock

1 tbsp olive oil

1. Place the sliced potato into a bowl, cover with boiling water and allow to stand for about 10 minutes whilst you make the hotpot filling. This softens the potatoes so they don’t take as long to cook in the oven.

2. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a pan. Add the onion, celery and carrot, sauté over a medium heat for 5 minutes.

3. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.

Chef’s Tip

This recipe uses a tin of mixed beans. but you can use your favourite, try cannellini beans or butterbeans for a change. Or swap the sliced potato for sweet potato or celeriac.
