Recipe Notes

Liquid will not be overly thick, but the potatoes will thicken it as they break down.

I prefer to soak it up with bread, but you can add some cornflour if you want a thicker sauce.

I also sometimes add a can of diced tomatoes to the mix for something a little different.

Use mixed herbs, oregano or tarragon.

It's a recipe you can play around with and add your own favourite vegetables and herbs too.
