Directions
- Peel the potatoes and slice them into smaller pieces.
- Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with cold water.
- Bring the water to a boil and reduce it to a simmer.
- Depending on the size of your potatoes, simmer them on medium heat for 15-18 min. You want the potatoes to be soft enough that a knife will slice through them easily.
- Drain the water off the potatoes and return them back to the pot.
- Break the potatoes up with a potato masher and add the butter, garlic, salt, black pepper and half & half.
- Continue mashing until the potatoes are smooth and creamy.
- Preheat the oven to 350
- Heat up the oil in a pan.
- Add the onions and fry until soft.
- Add meat to the onions and brown.
- Once the meat has started to brown sprinkle in the flour. Combine the flour with the meat and stir continuously for 1-2 min.
- Pour in the beef stock and mix well. It will thicken as it cooks.
- Add the remaining ingredients to the pan and cook for 5 min. Stirring occasionally so the meat doesn’t stick to the pan.
- Pour the mixture into a 9x13 casserole dish.
- Spread the potatoes evenly on top.
- Place the casserole dish into the oven and bake for 30-40 min.
