I’m Maltese. My mom always added lots of chopped garlic and and yellow cooking onions cut in half and then sliced. Do a layer of potatoes and a layer of onions and garlic. Mom also added water (use enough water to go a third way up from bottom of dish. This will make a nice gravy. (No fennel). Pepper and salt over the potatoes. She would then cut up a chicken that had been tossed in salt, pepper and a sprinkle of sweet paprika and place the pieces on top of the potatoes. The chicken will have crispy skin. Don’t forget some fresh Italian bread to dip in the gravy.
Your Mum's recipe sounds interesting and yummy. Thanks so much for sharing it! Love the idea of the chicken on top! Sounds like a whole meal. And thank you for watching! I appreciate it, and your comment!
ooooooh I LOVE fennel seed. Just bought at least a cup of them from the Bulk Barn. This is going on my "to do" list for sure. My husband and son could eat potatoes 7 days a week.
Thank you! Oh, the sausages on top sound good! Gonna do that for sire! Thank you! I appreciate you taking the time to watch and for your great comment and suggestion!
I just watched your other roast potato recipe, the seasonings of the two dishes are quite different, but the technique of roasting in the pan half filled with water is completely new to me. Really interesting and I'm impressed with the texture it looks like it give the potatoes. Thanks so much for sharing all these great recipes.
THANK YOU! I am so glad you are enjoying the videos. Yes, the spices are different in Malta as to what we use in Macedonia, but the flavour of these are amazing! Thanks SO MUCH for watching and commenting. I hope you enjoy my channel more!
Great layer roast potato this is the bomb!!! Fennell is such a unique flavour glad you put lots in yum ! I can almost smell them gonna share this with my freind she loves fennel too you got a 5 Thumbs up
We make ours just like yours but add pork chops or chicken thighs and instead of water we use chicken broth and add knobs of butter and olive oil ..to top once ready for oven and what a lovely smell all over the house when we make this ..thanks for sharing ..cheers from haliburton Ontario
gorgeous - i remember my nanna slicing the potatoes in her hands not on a board. she basically sliced and chopped everything this way. i see older people doing that also nowadays. i think it's a maltese thing.
You guys will love this! It's so easy, and you can easily make a huge batch or 2 casseroles! If your kids haven't had fennel seeds before, just put in a few, but it really makes it in my opinion! THANKS so much for watching!
Thank you SO much Nicole! My job is done if I evoke a feeling, and I thank you SO much for watching and commenting. I hope you subscribe if you haven't already and share. I have loads more on my channel! XO Thanks SO VERY MUCH for watching and commenting! Means a lot to me!
you can also use pork chops .or chicken .or any meat under all the potatoes ..and if you put meats under the potatoes just add a cube of any meat you are putting under the potatoes .beef chicken cubes and so on .
I THINK I remember this. I lived in Malta till I was 6 so have many mixed up memories!

She used to use Italian sausage, I use British bangers that I get from the British grocer in Bradford. They are wonderful.
One of the best all time Maltese recipes, we add some Curry powder as well but either way the top potatoes are the best :)
I add curry to mine if I do them on the stove top. In a pan crispy like my Aunt used to do. LOVE them!
Yummy! Great new potato dish to try out!
Thanks. They are awesome and addicting!
👍👏🏻 one of my favourites 😋 I make this heaps of times. I’m in heaven when I cook Maltese food. Cheers
I love them too Mary. So addictive huh? lol

Thanks for the tip Theresa! I have cooked them with meat, but never under them. Hmmm, very cool! Grazzi! And thanks for watching!
I do the same with sliced pork butt under the potatoes. The taste is awesome.
I'm sure it's tal-forn.
Actually because forn starts with an f it is fil-forn.
