Stewed Potatoes with Minced Meat in a Pot

A home cook does not always have the time and energy to prepare a refined, complicated dish. This is especially true for young mothers, since a little one needs a great deal of attention. At the same time, you cannot forget about your beloved husband, who will come home from work hungry.

Instructions

  1. Wash and peel the potatoes. Place them in a container with cold water.

  2. Wash and peel the carrot. Grate it on a medium grater.

  3. Peel and finely chop the onion.

  4. Put a thick-bottomed pot over medium heat and pour in 2–3 tablespoons of unrefined sunflower oil. Wait about 30 seconds for the oil to heat up. Add 250–300 g of beef mince and break it up into small pieces with a wooden spatula, stirring constantly. Fry for 5–7 minutes until the colour changes – the mince should turn brownish rather than grey. The thick bottom of the pot ensures even heating and prevents burning.

  5. Transfer the grated carrot to the pot with the minced meat. Stirring with a wooden spatula, fry lightly.

  6. Add the onion to the minced meat and carrot. Sauté the mixture until the onion is golden.

  7. Add 100 ml of hot water to the meat and vegetables. Cut the potatoes into cubes about 2–2.5 cm – this size ensures even cooking in the time allowed. Place the potatoes in the pot on top of the mince. Salt to taste (about 1 teaspoon) and add freshly ground black pepper. Pour in hot water so that it almost covers the potatoes – about 400–500 ml. Stir gently, bring to the boil over high heat, then reduce to the lowest setting, cover with a lid and stew for 20–25 minutes. Check for doneness with a fork – the potatoes should pierce easily. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.Stewed potatoes with minced meat in a pot help a home cook free up time to spend with loved ones, without resorting to a dinner pulled from the freezer and reheated in a hurry in the microwave. After all, every woman tries to take care of what ends up on her loved ones’ plates. Stewed potatoes with minced meat cook very quickly and turn out very tasty and filling. Make this main course with pleasure.

Tips

  • 1

    For a richer flavour, add 1 tablespoon of tomato paste together with the water.

  • 2

    Mix beef and pork mince in a 1:1 ratio – the dish will turn out juicier thanks to the fat in the pork.

FAQ

Why do the potatoes fall apart? +

Use potatoes with a low starch content. Do not stir too vigorously and do not overcook.

Can I cook this in a slow cooker? +

Yes, use the “Stew” mode for 40–45 minutes. Fry the mince and vegetables on the “Fry” mode before adding the potatoes.
