Hi Alexia

Have never made Lancashire Hot Pot...should I layer the potatos into the dish with the meat and veg or are they only meant to be the top layer?

Thanks

Hi Bagpipe,

Traditionally the potatoes are supposed to be the top layer. But I suppose you could always try a variety and put them inbetween as well. I have only ever made it the way I have described it in my recipe.
