Mince and Tatties is a delicious ground beef recipe with homemade gravy and root vegetables that make this a hearty and satisfying meal for the entire family.
In a broad based pan over a medium heat, fry the diced vegetables in the oil for about 5 minutes until softened but not brown, then increase the heat, add the meat to the pan and fry until it is well browned, about 8-10 minutes.
When the meat is browned, slightly reduce the heat then sprinkle the flour over the meat and veg and stir for a couple of minutes to cook the flour.
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
Add the stock, Worcester sauce, salt and pepper. Stir while the sauce comes gently to the boil and begins to thicken.
2 1/2 cup beef stock, 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, 1 tsp black pepper
Simmer, covered, for about 30 minutes adding more stock as necessary, until everything is tender.
For the Tatties
In a medium saucepan over high heat, place cold water, salt, and the potatoes and bring the water to a boil. Reduce the heat to low to maintain a simmer, and cover. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes, or until you can easily poke through the potatoes with a fork.
1½ lbs russet potatoes
While the potatoes are cooking, melt the butter and warm the cream. You can heat them together in a pan on the stove or in the microwave.
4 tbsp heavy cream, 1 tbsp unsalted butter
When the potatoes are done, drain the water and place the hot potatoes into a large mixing bowl. Pour the heated cream and melted butter over the potatoes.
Mix or mash the mashed potatoes are smooth. Season with black pepper.
1 tsp black pepper
Serve the mince in shallow bowls with buttered mash or boiled potatoes.
