Mince and potatoes

Method

Peel and dice the potatoes into roughly 2cm cubes and set aside. Heat the oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat and brown the mince, breaking it up with a spoon, until no pink remains, then remove and set aside. In the same pot, soften the diced onions for about 5 minutes until translucent. Dust the flour over the onions, stir well, then return the mince to the pot and mix thoroughly. Crumble in the stock cube, add the water, salt and pepper, then bring to a simmer. Add the potatoes, cover with a lid, and simmer gently for about 30-35 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and the sauce has thickened. Serve hot in bowls as a warming family dish.
