My Grandmother, God bless her soul, use to make mince and tatties for me when I was a young lad. I couldn't quite remember how she did it. I was close, but your recipe helped me get over the top and make it just right. Now I've made this for my children and they just love it. Thank you!

You always made me hungry. Mashing carrot with the potato is a fantastic idea. The minced beef is absolutely delicious looking. What a wholesome meal. Thanks for the wonderful dish, Pete!

Any mince left over, my mum would make stovies for the following day. I used to like the school mince and tatties too!

Neeps are turnips in Scotland, I believe they are Swedish turnips, called Swedes in th UK'.
Yellow tasty flesh, you'll need a hatchet to get to it
Shepherds pie made with haggis tatters and neeps is a wonder

[chrishewitt]

Fit fine lookin... love makin es, fan I'm feelin hamesick! Made it just last week... always takes me home in my mind.

Looks good for an appetizer but as my old Grand Dad used to say when out visiting of a weekend "Tat was affa fine but when does the real meal begin?" He was a big man and loved his grub, especially at the weekends when he wasn't driving his lorry from Aberdeen to Glasgow Fish market, circa 1930's. Me instead of cornflower and water slurry I add 2 spoonful's of Rough Oatmeal to dry up the Minced beef and Veggies but then that was how I was brought up to appreciate good food.

A lot of traditional Scottish food is spoon food...Porridge, Stovies, Mince and Tatties, Cullen Skink, Cranachan,
Cock-a-Leekie Soup, all lovely, comforting and

[WhoCares]

I wouldn’t put carrots in the mince just onions. Apart from that I make exactly the same. I’d add skirlie ( fried oatmeal and onions). Really filling meal 😊

[calmmusicforsleep]

Great and looks so delicious! Thanks for sharing! Have a great day my friend!
