Instructions

  • Peel your white potatoes and dice them and load the potatoes into the slow cooker with half the butter or margarine, salt, pepper, and mixed herbs. Allow to slow cook for 90 minutes on high to create soft mashed potatoes. After 90 minutes put the potatoes to one side in a suitable bowl and add the milk and other half of the butter.

  • Whilst the potatoes are cooking in the slow cooker, peel and dice the onion and the carrots as well as cleaning and slicing the celery.

Notes

Mince. I highly recommend using 5% fat minced beef. This is because the lower in fat the less greasy the mince will become as it cooks in the slow cooker.
Thicken. I always use a little mash potato as a natural thickener. It tastes so good, and you are already making mash to go with the pie so why not?
Stock. For stock I have some frozen beef ice cubes in my freezer made up from previous stock and just dumped these on top. You can use similar or whatever you have available.
