Based on a traditional Scottish dish. Mince & Mashed Potatoes.
I only had ground round (too lean minced beef) so I had to add a drizzle
of oil to add some fat to the beef when I browned it. This is normally
made with 80/20 ground beef. I seasoned the ground round with S&P and
cooked it in a skillet, cooking and stirring until it was still a little
pink. If using 80/20, drain off all but 1 Tbs. of fat. I didn't have
to drain off any fat. Stir in 1/2 cup of water and 2-3 Tbs.
Worcestershire sauce. Cover the pan and simmer on low for 10-15
minutes. You'll wind up with minced beef and a clear "gravy".
Meanwhile, I boiled some Yukon Gold potatoes and made the mashed
potatoes. Use whatever potatoes you wish.
Mince & Mashed Potatoes is a family recipe that lives on. Nothing fancy
but very tasty and filling. :)

then water added and cooked til done and cooled a bit. Chopped up and
orange pepper and a zucchini and dress with canola oil, dijon mustard,
apple cider vinegar, grated garlic. Then added a chopped up cooked
chicken breast . It is one of the best recipes from the heart and
stroke menu tool kit.

not everyone likes onion in that.
So...2 separate items on your plate, or both mixed together?
For leftovers, both mixed together and turned into fried potato cakes
sounds like a nice thing to make.
I've got plenty of fresh onions and quite a few potatoes that need to be
used soon or lose them. I plan to turn that into fried potato/onion hash
then freeze several portions for the future.

That gives you Mince, Mash, Bubble & Squeak.
It's also the name of a new upcoming Girl Band: Two hardcore mod
bitches and two preppy cheerleader-homecoming queen types. It seems
to work well for them. And I know it works for me, at least!

Shepard's pie type ordeal or separate. Onions would be a nice addition.

Squeak called for boiled or roasted potatoes, not mashed potatoes. I
could be wrong about that. That traditional dish is not something that
was handed down as a 'family' recipe.

make this recipe as written because it's a very simple, tried and true,
handed down in the family recipe. I don't see the need to change it.
If you or Gary (or anyone else) ever decide to make it, feel free to add
onion or whatever else you like. When plated, the mince with "gravy" is
served spooned on top of the mashed potatoes.

every year. The Johnnies were onion growers from France, who tied up
strings of onions into massive bunches which they fastened to their
bicycles - so many bunches that the bike was hardly visible! They
wheeled their bikes though the streets, selling them to the Scottish
housewives. Once the bike was empty, the Johnnies hopped on and rode
back to the docks to return to France.
They were very good onions.

time, although they won't be from France. More likely South Carolina or
Georgia. :)
Sadly, I wasn't around my grandmother often enough to hear any tales of
such things. Being a military dependent I seldom saw my grandparents
and usually only briefly. Both of my maternal grandparents died when I
was 16. I hadn't seen them since I was about 11 years old. We weren't
sitting down sharing family stories. Sad, really. I'd like to think if
I had been older I'd have asked some questions. I know very little
about that side of the family.

the ingredients are variable as it is meant to use up leftovers.
But most often cabbage or kale. Onion and some leftover meat such
as minced roast, sausage, or bacon would be common.
If this weren't a sleeping night (rather than a sleeping day), I
might have gone downstairs to make some right now... It'll have to
wait until tomorrow PM. Unless I get a better itch before then...
It looks like the name of your dish is really Mince & Tatties. That
doesn't fit well into my name plan. No parents would let their kids
listen to music by, "Mince, Titties, Bubble, & Squeak" <sigh> Now I
need a new game plan for dinner tomorrow - gee thanks.
