▫️Make the sauce using a high speed blender - add all ingredients and whizz at high speed until smooth and creamy, it will be quite runny.
▫️Drain potatoes then layer in a large baking tray with the veges - can use frozen I blanched in boiling water first. If using fresh veges you might water to wilt spinach a little or lightly fry other greens.
▫️Pour the sauce over the layered Potatoes there should be plenty of liquid and potatoes should be fully covered
▫️Bake for around 45mins or until potatoes cooked and sauce has thickened ▫️The sauce will thicken more when rested
