Tips for Making Ground Beef and Potato Skillet

• Spread the potatoes in a single layer so they fry rather than steam.
• If the potatoes stick, wait; they release once a crust forms.
• Drain off excess fat from the mince before the onion goes in if the pan looks greasy.

Common Substitutions & Variations

• Out of spring onions? A small regular onion, finely sliced, or a few chives stirred in at the end both cover the job.

Serving Suggestions

• Fried egg on top
• Green salad
• Ketchup
• Hot sauce

Leftovers and Storage

Keeps in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a hot frying pan for 5 minutes to bring back the crust.
