scottish mince and tatties
(1 RATING)
This is one of those dish you can add any seasonings you like. From Worcestershire sauce, a tad of dry mustard, thyme, etc. You can add any cut vegetable you have on hand. Nor do you have to mash the potatoes. But I am going to give you the simple recipe an old Scottish/Irish friend, Ellen Donovan,gave so many years ago. It's simple fair, quick and ever so easy. Personally it's one of my favorite dishes for a cold rainy lazy day...or when times were tough. A wee bit of information on Mince and Tatties. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mince_and_tatties
