🥘 Ingredients

• Potatoes - any variety of old potatoes will work well if cooking from scratch. I normally use Maris Piper.
• Carrots -any shape, variety or size.
• Onions - brown or white onion.
• Beef - cooked sliced roast beef.
• Stock - hot beef stock.
• Pepper - freshly ground black pepper.
• Butter - salted or unsalted to provide a crisp topping to the potatoes.

The recipe card with ingredient quantities and detailed instructions can be found at the bottom of the post.

🍽 Equipment

• sharp knife
• cutting board
• food processor - optional
• 30 centimetre or 12 inch round casserole dish
• pastry brush

🔪 Instructions

Divide the potatoes roughly into 3 portions and the onions and carrots into 2 portions, ready for layering.

Grease the dish with a little of the butter or some vegetable oil.

Arrange a third of the potatoes on the bottom of the dish.

Add half of the carrots, then half of the onions.

Season with pepper.

Layer the beef evenly over the vegetables.

Repeat with a layer of potatoes, carrots, onions and finish with the last portion of potatoes.

Pour over the hot stock.

⏲️ Cooking Time

Preheat the oven to 180 C / 350 F / 160 FAN / Gas 4 and bake for 40 minutes.

Dot the potatoes with the remaining butter and bake for a further 20 minutes until golden.

You may need to add extra stock or water if the dish looks dry.

Leave the dish to settle for 10 minutes before serving.

🥙 Substitutions

• Beef - leftover lamb is the traditional ingredient, but tinned corned beef or leftover pork, ham or chicken are also popular.

📖 Variations

• Leftovers - make this dish the traditional way, using all precooked ingredients and leftover gravy. The ingredients only really need to be warmed through, so cover the dish with foil and cook for 20 minutes.
• Vegetables - use parnsips, celeriac swede (rutabega), leeks or whole cabbage leaves for a change.
• Meat - many versions of panacalty use sausages. Brown the sausages well in a pan before using as they won't get any colour in the oven.

🍣 Storage

• Refrigerator - if making from fresh, cool, cover and use within 2 days. If you are using all leftover ingredients it is not advisable to reheat food more than once.
• Freezer - prepare the dish ready for cooking, cover and freeze for up to 3 months. Freeze leftovers up to a month. Defrost overnight in the refrigerator.
• Reheat - un the microwave until piping hot or in a covered dish in the oven at 180 C / 350 F / 160 FAN / Gas 4.

🍱 Prepare in Advance

• Prepare the day before ready for the oven and store in the fridge.
