Ingredients

1kg new potatoes, quartered
3 tbsp olive oil, plus extra to drizzle
2 onions, grated
3 carrots, grated
2 celery sticks, finely chopped
800g free-range beef mince
4 tbsp flour
550ml beef stock
3 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
Handful chopped fresh flatleaf parsley

Method

Heat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas 6. Spread the potatoes over a large baking sheet, toss with 2 tbsp of the olive oil, salt and pepper, then roast on a high shelf in the oven for 25-30 minutes until golden.
Meanwhile, heat the remaining oil in an ovenproof casserole or dish, then fry the onions with the carrots, celery and beef mince for 5 minutes to brown. Stir in the flour, then the stock and Worcestershire sauce. Cook, uncovered, on a middle shelf in the oven for 15-20 minutes.
Remove the potatoes and the mince mix from the oven. Toss the potatoes with the parsley, scatter over the mince and serve.

Try a lighter version with half pork and half beef mince, or replace half the meat with a 400g tin of drained and rinsed lentils.
Roast the potatoes and cook the mince up to 2 days ahead, then heat through and assemble to serve.
