Scottish Recipe | Mince & Tatties

[@DennisNelson-ee2il]

I remember my nan making this when i was a small boy,and how delicious it was.she'd make it from what was left from a joint of beef we'd have on a Sunday,and we had one of those steel mincers,that had round flat steel discs,with different sized hole's and which had a handle and fixed to the table,you put meat in the top,turned the handle,and out came the mince.I used to love turning the handle and watching the mince come out,and just helping my nan in the kitchen.This,after all these year's,is still one of my favourite,possibly my favourite,it's so simple,yet so delicious,and it always reminds me of my nan.

Looks fantastic. Mum used to make this when we were kids a long time ago and when she was short of money, which was most of the time, she used to use half mince and half split red lentils. The lentils bulk the dish up, acts as a thickener and are delicious and good for you. Whats not to like! Thanks for the video.

My Nana used to let it cook over night, like her porridge. Always will be one of the culinary highlights of my children. Said in a good strong accent

everyone of scottish descent knows this recipe,or some variation of it. great comfort food

[@MWL4466]

A classic ! Always a happy supper when i come home to mince and tatties.😋🤤

[@vanessazahel7554]

I grew up on something similar here in the Southern US. My mom just called it hamburger gravy (I think she used flour for the thickener) and we always had it with mashed potatoes. I've made something similar for my family off and on over the years. I was thinking of making curry tomorrow night but I think I'll make this instead, as it's going to be cold and rainy here in Northwest Florida. Thanks for sharing!

Super helpful Cheryl. Big help with step by step. You’re the best ! Thanks

Here in Texas we always have buttered green beans with it and the potatoes. Strange, after all the years and generations in other places we Scots still like our mince and tatties. 😁

[@sylviagibson4639]

Mom made this often when we were growing up. I didn’t know it had a name until I was an adult. Now it is comfort food. Reminds me of Mom.

Cheryl as an expat Scot living and loving life in Arizona your recipes are awesome. Having lived here for 15 years I can tell you I appreciate the rutabaga translation and also that we call mince “ground beef’ here. Carrots are still carrots and gravy is gravy. I think resurrect your stovies, and scotch broth recipes and so many peeps will relate to them. Also…. Big love for the Arran shots, my Mum n Dad lived there until recently after my Dad passed. Respect sister

[@sparky5860]

As I am American born my Mother and Grand parents were immigrants from Kilwinning, Ayrshire… We had this exact recipe at least 3 times a week.. I didn’t appreciate it as much as I do now that I am now 60…. Thanks for the memories…..

[@LeHazy]

Find some nice smoked soy sauce. Look for the stuff that only has soy sauce and stabilizers as the ingredients, as most have fake smoke flavouring. It really gives the dish an insane umami punch!

[@Beruthiel45]

Used to be a regular meal on Tyneside too when I was a bairn and probably still is although I've been gone since 1967. I've been making my version ever since in Canada and my kids all make it now as well. So easy, so tasty, and warms the cockles.😊👍💕

Here we always serve the mince in gravy on toast with "smashed taters". The taters are red skinned potatoes boiled then just roughly smashed. Buttered green beans are served with this. I like diced onion in the mince and gravy.

[@kristinrae1]

Hello from Colorado! My husband and I love mince and tatties! Lately I’ve been making mince in my Dutch oven then topping with dumplings and popping it into the oven until the dumplings are cooked. It’s gorgeous! I use the lightened up dumplings recipe from the Hairy Bikers using buttermilk, avocado oil and herbs. They’re stunning!

[@rowanrobbins]

This reminds me of a dish my mother called "creamed hamburger". She grew up during the Depression. She used milk to make the gravy, with flour to thicken it. It only had salt and pepper to season it, so it was a bit bland. Yours looks lovely. Love from New York State.

As an expat Scot living in the US, we did this very similarly. We did not do the turnips, but we did add the spuds, carrots, peas and for the gravy we used Bisto. My Granny hated that I mashed everything together combined with a squirt of ketchup and brown sauce.. She said it looked like a dug's breakfast lol . I served it to my American friends, they loved it!

I joke that this was one of the first suppers I was taugt as a ween to make. The only think my Dad taught me was to add Kitchen Boquet (browning liquid/seasoning) gave it a lovely flavour and rich deep brown colour. And some times we even added cooked breakfast sausaged to it.
