Potato exercise:-
Home made Cottage Pie (my own recipe) for 1 person.
Boil 800g of potatoes. While they are doing, cook your minced beef as follows...
Melt a knob of butter in a small pan, add in a cup full of minced beef.
When the mince has browned, add in a heaped teaspoon of plain flour, then add in a tablespoon of tomato puree.
Mix some beef stock: Take 1/3rd pint of water, add a beef stock cube and 1/2 teaspoon of gravy granules and stir.
Add the stock to your minced beef and simmer until thick.
All that takes about 25mins to cook. When the potatoes are done, add in a knob of butter and some cream (or condensed milk) and mash until creamy.
Put the mince in a small baking dish and put the potatoes on top. Cook in an oven pre-heated to 220C for 20-25 mins.
Eat when done!
