Stovies

Ingredients

• 3 lbs potatoes (Tatties)
• 1 large onion (sliced)
• 1 (12 ounce) can corned beef
• 4 tablespoons fat (lard it best, but you can use vegetable shortening, oil etc)
• 1 pinch salt and pepper

Directions

1. 1

   Melt the fat in a big stock pot then add the onions.

2. 2

   Peel the tatties and slice them (the thinner they're sliced the quicker it takes to cook).

3. 3

   Once the onions are softened, turn the heat down low, add the tatties and cover.

4. 4

   Leave the tatties cooking, stirring occasionally. After about 3 hours (once the tatties start to get mushy) add the corned beef.

5. 5

   Leave it cooking for another half hour and then stir in the salt and pepper.

6. 6

   Serve with Oatcakes and a glass of milk.
