This is one of those family favorites. A dish I like to prepare in advance and bake on the day. It makes a complete meal, and it's vegetarian too! Using a piping bag might seem fiddly, but I think it is totally worth it!

A standard Dutch meal comprises of potatoes, vegetables and meat. My grandmother used to boil the potatoes and veg while frying the meat. I simplified this by cooking all ingredients in one baking sheet in the oven. While the oven does all the work, I have quality time with my sons.
