METHOD:
Potato Base
1

Grate the potatoes into a large bowl. Squeeze the potatoes of any excess fluid, a handful at a time, and place into a large oven dish.

2

Drizzle the potatoes with a fine coat of olive oil and add enough salt to taste.

3

Press the potatoes firmly and evenly over the oven dish.

4

Bake at 160°C for 45 minutes until slightly golden brown or until a knife can cut through easily.

5

Remove from the oven and set aside.

Meat Sauce
6

Brown mincemeat with garlic in a large saucepan coated with olive oil.

7

Add dried herbs, salt, and pepper and stir through.

8

Add tomato sauce and add extra water to ensure the sauce is slightly runny.

9

Add fresh basil, parsley and bay leaf and stir through once more.

10

Simmer sauce on low heat for approximately 1 hour or until sauce thickens.

11

Remove from heat and allow to cool.

Cheese Sauce
12

Gently melt butter in a medium saucepan on low heat.

13

Remove from the flame. Add flour and stir until no lumps are present.

14

Add all the milk and stir once more focusing on removing all clumps again.

15

Add cheese and salt and return to the heat.

16

Stir continuously until sauce thickens, constantly removing any clumps by pushing the sauce with the backend of your spoon firmly into the outer edges of the saucepan as you stir. The sauce will thicken quickly near the end, so stir fast at this stage.

17

Once thickened, remove from heat and set aside.

Lasagna Set Up

Layer the meat sauce over the grated potato base.

19
