Nicky's Kitchen SanctuaryMince & Potatoes Recipe
Save it, plan it, shop for it.
Supper turns recipes like this into a planned week and a sorted grocery list — then walks you through cooking, hands-free. Coming soon to iOS.

Serves 4- 1 carrot peeled and finely chopped
- 1 large onion peeled and chopped
- 1 stick celery finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley (or 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley)

- Cornflour slurry (made from 2 tablespoons cornflour (cornstarch in USA) mixed with 6 tablespoons cold water)
- Pickled red cabbage
- 450 g 1lb minced beef
- 480 ml (2 cups) beef stock

Open in Supper to scale servings and turn this into a grocery list.
Steps
- Step 1
Start by cooking the potatoes. Place the potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with cold water.
- Step 2
Bring to the boil, then simmer for 15-20 minutes, until the potatoes are tender (you can check this by slicing into a potato with a knife – it should slide in easily). Then drain.
- Step 3
While the potatoes are cooking, add the oil for the minced beef to a large frying pan (skillet) and heat over a medium-high heat.
- Step 4
Add the onion, celery and carrot and cook for 5 minutes, stirring often, until slightly softened.
- Step 5
Add the minced beef, salt and pepper. Turn up the heat to high and cook for 5 minutes, stirring often (breaking up any large pieces as you go), until browned.
- Step 6
Add in the Worcestershire sauce and beef stock. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 5-6 minutes, until slightly reduced.
- Step 7
Stir in the cornflour slurry, until the minced beef is thickened to your liking. Then turn off the heat.
- Step 8
By now the potatoes should be cooked and drained. Place in a bowl with the butter and parsley, plus a pinch of salt and pepper and stir together, ensuring the butter and parsley coats the potatoes.
- Step 9
Divide the potatoes and minced beef between 4 plates. I like to serve mine with peas and pickled red cabbage.
