How to Make Scottish Mince N Tatties

  1. Peel and chop the potatoes into bite-sized pieces (approximately 1-inch cubes).
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large pan or pot over medium heat. Add the minced beef and brown it well, breaking it up with a spoon.
  3. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Stir in the beef stock, tomato puree, Worcestershire sauce, and thyme. Bring to a simmer.
  5. Add the potatoes to the pan. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
  7. Stir in the frozen peas during the last 2-3 minutes of cooking.
  8. Serve hot, optionally garnished with fresh parsley and a dollop of butter on top of each serving. Serve with buttered peas for a complete Scottish experience.
