Pan Haggerty from the Woodfired Oven
This is a traditional one-pot recipe from the North of England, a fabulous layered concoction of potatoes, onions and cheese.
We cook it all year round as an accompaniment to most meat dishes or served on its own with some green vegetables or a winter salad. It’s also delicious for breakfast or brunch with a poached or fried egg on top and our slow-cooked woodfired tomatoes on the side.
It’s so simple to make – just take a look on this week’s #woodfiredweekly here.
