Potato, Leek and Carrot Pie image

Substantially adapted from Chris Walton's - a reader's - recipe in a recent issue of 'Woman's Day'. I don't like hot and spicy foods, but if hot and spicy is your thing, please don't hesitate to make the appropriate additions to meet your taste preferences: cayenne pepper, red pepper flakes, whatever... I've listed thyme, rosemary and sage as optional herbs to be added, influenced by a recent purchase of a rosemary and sage blend of herbs in a mini grinder - which is the most wonderfully flavoursome blend - which I've been using in just about every recipe of late. Fortunately, I don't often make desserts or cakes!
