About

Pan Haggerty comes from the north of England and straight out of a farmhouse kitchen, I feel. The traditional fat for frying this was probably lard or dripping.

Method

Melt the fats in a wide frying pan and swirl around to cover the base. Line the pan with half the potatoes. Combine the grated cheese, sliced onion and seasoning and put in the pan. Arrange the remaining potatoes on top.

Cover the pan with a plate and cook over a low heat for about 40 minutes or until the potatoes are tender. Brown the top of the dish under a hot grill. Serve very hot.<
