Scottish Mince and Tatties

Simple and delicious Scottish Mince and Tatties.

[@ronaldcorrie1875]

Picture this - summer of '78, we've been papped oot the world cup, I'm gettin married in the mornin. Me and the boys from the Granton factory hit Junction Street for a couple jars, ease the nerves. Wake up absolutely steamin in the neighbours front room, knifes getting swung aboot, the lot. Went by the local cafe for a plate of mince n tatties to get me groovin again. That's me and Debbie married 44 year on 12th June! Great vid, cheers Ron j.

[@JB-oo7cv]

Alright big man 💪 I'm making this right now 😀 I brown my onions and carrots first then add the mince to the onions and carrots to brown the mince 😉 game changer 💥

[@vickigranacher3357]

I didn't learn this till latter in life. If you carmelise (brown) your onions and carrots FIRST, it brings out the sweetness of the vegetables. Then add the meat. If any of the veggies have stuck to the bottom of the pan (but not burned), through not stirring, just adds to the flavor. Greetings from Indiana, USA! Really nice, simple recipes.

[@frugalmrsolson1]

I’m going to try that.

[@usngunr]

I do the meat, nicely browned and use the carrots and onions to deglaze the meat fond. Much more "beefy" flavor that way.

[@williamf4544]

I do the onions first then the mince and add the carrots quite a bit later depending on how long i planning on simmering the mince

[@westfour3116]

It’s not meant to have sweetness in it. Not authentic Scottish!

[@dennisnelson8207]

The more simpler the dish the more greater the taste,you just can't beat plain simple cooking,dishes like this just reminds me what my nan would cook,and the kind of meal I grew up with as a child.

[@bettyrobb8219]

Simply the best!….better than all the rest!🤗 This recipe was the best in WW2. It kept us going, we were rationed. Only babies were rationed for O.J.!! Meat was rationed, mince and tatties were a feast back then! 🙏🏽🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇨🇦👍🏻

[@PSYCHIC_PSYCHO]

You love your savoury meals to be bland as ice-cubes because you were raised on a diet of bland food. British savoury meals are ATROCIOUS at best because they are bland as fucking ice-cubes; shocking considering that the British had the privilege of spending 200 years in India. Even dogs in India have infinitely superior taste in food than vast majority of white people.

[@mariareed5238]

I was born in Scotland and moved to Australia in 1970, my dad made this nearly every night = friday night was chip night and sunday was roast night. I moved to America 4 years ago and made this for my American husband - he loved it, so now I make it for him at least once a week

[@Getpojke]

Hard to beat a plate of mince & tatties. I always like peas with mine too. Being a mean East coaster I always follow a wee trick my granny taught me. Instead of thickening with cornstarch I pop in a couple of handfuls of porridge oats [the rolled kind]. It thickens up the mince & makes it go a lot further which is good if you're trying to make the pennies go a bit further. It's also good for you as it adds fibre which is good for your digestion & adds a slightly nutty flavour. Like you say though, once you've learnt this you can use it as a base for so many meals like spaghetti bolognese, chilli, cottage pie, mince pie, mince & doughboys [dough balls] , pasta bakes... the list goes on. Have subscribed & good luck with the channel.

[@soniagaynor1001]

Oooooh gonna give the oats a try hummmmm

[@mimic7848]

Gram used oats or the starch water from the boiled tatties As a thickener. Great tricks.

[@zonacrs]

Grits or Polenta (pretty similar) are another great option to oats.

[@Getpojke]

@@zonacrs I have used them as I've gotten older & you're right they work & taste great. Don't think my old Scottish Grannyhad ever heard of them back then. [Though on reflection she did use cornmeal in some of her baking, but I don't think she would have thought of using it like that. Plus oats were one of the things they grew on the farm so she had lots of them.] Come to think of it I don't think I had Polenta 'till the 1980's, even spaghetti was a rare treat in the 1970's, pretty rural here in Scotland back then. 😁

[@zonacrs]

@@Getpojke Cool. Thanks for sharing. I use oats in my meatloaf, now I need to think about grits instead! Going to give that mince a try here in the U.S. Pretty similar to a cottage pie I make.

In these tight times more families will be looking to mince although the price has jumped like everything else. Blessings and thankyou from down under.

[@williamf4544]

Ive ad it quite a few times in the last few weeks because its ended up in the reduced section at the supermarket - not selling so well at the more expensive price - evey cloud has a silver lining as the saying goes

[@andyhughes5885]

When i make mince n tatties, i place the raw mince in a hot pan with no oil added, sear it all till there`s no red bits seen. I also like to chew the onion when its cooked and the carrots i do the same as you do. I add an oxo cube and to thicken it i add a couple of teaspoons of bisto gravy granules, always stirring it to see if more is needed. I buy either steak mince ( 2lb ) or beef mince which i find has less fat from the butcher. Tatties are always mashed, just like yours. Forgot to say, always brown your veg before adding to the mince, it tastes much better.

ALL British savoury meals are bland as fucking ice-cubes. I watched a TV documentary on British savoury meals, and was utterly shocked when the narrator revealed that the most popular British meal is Fish & Chips, considering that straight out of a deep fryer Fish & Chips taste of nothing but cooking oil, how delicious can Fish & Chips be?, the answer is not tasty at all. It’s utterly shocking that British savoury meals should be so bland, considering that the British spent 200 years in India. Even the most basic Indian meal tastes infinitely more pleasurable than the best of British.

[@freespirit2178]

@@PSYCHIC_PSYCHO Well, I remember many years ago, when I used to visit Britain regularly, there was a Fish & Chips place in Dover and I really liked it. Somehow they managed to do this dish in a way, that it didn't taste like cooking oil and the chips were great too. Whenever driving through Dover I had to stop, enjoy a portion and after that felt like "now I'm in Great Britain again". For the indian dishes: I enjoyed them while in India, but having a european stomache, you need to be very carefull especially in southern India: the dishes are extremely spicy. I remember asking a waiter in the backwaters area if a dish was spicy and he replied: "No, not spicy. Very nice. Not spicy." The next thing after trying the not spicy dish was dashing to the buffet looking for the joghurt, because my mouth was burning and I had difficulty to breath. The waiter came, looked troubled, and said: "But not spicy. Really not spicy." For me british food was much more safe than indian food (where a spicy cookie got me sick for two days).

Hi. My mom's entire family came over from Scotland. Mom was raised by her grandparents Crowe here in the States. Grandma Crowe made a variation of this dish, also called mince. She didn't brown the meat but rather minced it in the pot, with whatever cooking liquid she used, by hand. No carrots, but lots of peas and served over mashed potatoes. My mom called it horsemeat🙃. When I was a kid, my girlfriends joined us for dinner. Horsemeat was very popular, and Mom loved feeding all of "her" kids.

Instant gravy granules are a great thickener and boost the flavour of the sauce. You can then cut back on the the stock a little by either using the cubes or stock pots. It also makes the dish spread further. Also I agree with some of the other comments here - soften the onions and carrots first to bring out the flavour.

[@critchley999]

Mine's just simmering at the moment and it tastes delish. No need for anything else. I'll be turning it out soon and leaving it to sit til we have our evening meal. I usually fry off the mince and onions and then bung it all in the slow cooker but it never seemed so rich and tasty. Just have to decide whether to make it into a cottage pie with tatties on top or just serve on the side like in the video. Was quite a lot of Mince and only us 2 oldies so might do half and half. xx

22 years ago I was a single dad money was tight and trhis was our goto sunay dinner with dumplings made enough to carry over for mondays tea present day still a family favorite subscribed due to the channel name all the best.

Your, making me hungry, I live in Ireland, BUT never stopped making my , favourite Scottish traditional dishes. I use cornflour also very natural. Dosent affect the flavour. Well done. Much love Georgie.

Looks great. On the right track but needs Lea and Perrins and plenty of pepper. I would eat it though.😛
