Baked stew is a classic English dish that has been enjoyed for generations. It is a hearty, one-pot meal that is perfect for a cold winter's night or a lazy weekend afternoon. The long cooking time allows the flavors to meld together, resulting in a dish that is rich and flavorful. The addition of sliced potatoes on the bottom of the baking dish creates a delicious crust that adds to the overall texture of the dish.

6.	Peel and slice the potatoes into thin slices and layer them in the bottom of a large baking dish.
