Made this tonight and it went down a storm, definately going to be doing this again. I cut my potatoes smaller and roasted them for the same result but it meant I didn’t have to bother frying them. I also added a bit of cornflour to thicken the stock and create more of a gravy. It was really nice to have beef mince without it being drowned in tomato sauce for a change! You could probably add carrots and peas (not for me) to bulk out the mince as this is in essence a deconstructed cottage pie. I served with pickled carrots and radish for a sharp side that cut through the carbs.
Thanks for the feedback Helen, we’re so glad the recipe went down well. Your accompaniments sound like a great pairing for the rich hash.
