Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200ºC, gas mark 6. Halve or quarter any larger potatoes so they’re all a similar size. Boil in lightly salted water for 20 minutes, until tender. Scatter the beetroot and onion into a shallow ovenproof dish or roasting tin. Flake the mackerel on top and scatter with ½ the dill. Cover with foil and bake for 15 minutes, or until piping hot throughout.
