I would like you to ask members of your family about their recipes for Lancashire Hot Pot.
Not to be contentious but my family for generations has used mince, beef and a shortcrust pastry top.
Mrs Beeton's recipe in the image has a potato top!
Can you write your recipe on the blog please.

INGREDIENTS
2 lb (900 g) best end and middle neck of lamb, chopped into chop-sized pieces
2 lb (900 g) potatoes, peeled and cut into ¾ inch (2 cm) slices
salt and freshly milled black pepper
1 tablespoon groundnut or other flavourless oil
butter
12 oz (350 g) onions, peeled and cut into half lengthways through the root then cut into ½ inch (1 cm inch) wedges
1 level tablespoon flour
1 pint (570 ml) hot water, mixed with ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 bay leaf
2 sprigs fresh thyme
METHOD
First trim the lamb of any excess fat and wipe with kitchen paper.
In a large frying pan, heat the oil and ¼ oz (5 g) butter until it is very hot, then brown the pieces of lamb two or three at a time until they all have a good brown crust. As they cook, remove them to a wide casserole.
Next, fry the onions – add ¼ oz (5 g) butter to the pan if you need any extra fat – cooking them for about 10 minutes till they turn brown at the edges. Now stir in the flour to soak up the juices, then gradually add the hot water and Worcestershire sauce, stirring or whisking until flour and liquid are smoothly blended. Season with salt and pepper and bring it up to simmering point, then pour it over the meat in the casserole. Add the bay leaf and thyme, then arrange the potato slices on top, in an overlapping pattern like slates on a roof. Season the potatoes and add a few flecks of butter here and there.
Cover with a tight-fitting lid and cook near the top of the oven for 1½ hours, then remove the lid and cook for a further 50 minutes.I sometimes finish off the hotpot under the grill. If you brush the potatoes with a little more butter and place the casserole under a hot grill they crisp up and brown beautifully. Alternatively, if you think they're not browning enough during cooking, you can turn the heat in the oven right up during the last 15 minutes. Remove the bay leaf and thyme sprigs before serving.

My mum uses a tin of corned beef, carrots, onions, potatoes and two stock cubes.
Cook the potatoes, carrots and onion for half an hour then add the corned beef and two stock cubes. My mum uses a potato masher to mash it up a little and cooks it for another half an hour on the hob. Then it can be served with a slice of bread and beetroot or red cabbage. My mum makes the best corned beef hash ever!

4 onions, peeled and sliced
4 carrots, peeled and sliced or ½ lb. mushrooms, wiped and quartered
2 lb. potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced

Sprinkle a little salt over the potato ‘thatch’ and brush the potatoes with melted lard or dripping. Cover and cook for a 1½ to 2 hours. Remove from the oven and brush the potatoes with a little more melted lard or dripping and cook , uncovered, for a further 20 to 30 minutes until the potatoes are golden brown and crisp.
