This recipe comes via the author of the Emotional Support Potatoes. I've tinkered with it to add our own spin on it, which will doubtless result in four days of asthmatic, indignant wheezing and a face like a slapped arse - six days if he realises I've changed the recipe - and it's lovely. I have however added his gran's recipe under our own so if you're a purist, you can try that too. Either way works!
Also, this is one of those recipes where it is hard to give an exact amount on things because it depends what ratio of corned beef to potato you like. See also cheese.
On the calories: this comes in at 605 calories but those are HUGE portions, including the cheese and the crisps - you can reduce both to save some calories but listen, this is a bowl of stodge and you don't need to skimp. Calorie counts are approximate as ever.
Ingredients
- 700g of potatoes - we use Maris Piper
- one egg and a splash of milk
- plenty of salt and pepper
- one large tin of reduced fat corned beef
- two large onions
- 250g of extra mature cheddar
- chilli sauce, as much as your arse can handle
- optional: one bag of Walkers Max Flame Grilled Steak Crisps
Instructions
- make the mash by boiling chunks of potato (don't peel them) until soft and mashing it up with an egg and some milk, plus salt and pepper to taste
- whilst the mash is cooking, finely dice your onion and fry gently until golden and soft
- in a big bowl, mix the mash, corned beef, half of the cheese and more salt and pepper together, seasoning to taste
- slop into a baking dish and cover with the rest of the cheese and, if using, the crisps - but crunch the crisps up first so they go into wee tiny bits
Pop in the oven on about 170 degrees for 30 minutes, covering the top with tin foil for the first twenty minutes so the crisps don't burn. Feel free to finish off under the grill to make it super crispy. Serve with beans if you like but we prefer just good old fashioned chilli sauce.
Notes
The original recipe by Ann Nethercot, living legend
Make your mash with a load of butter and milk until creamy. Mash in a tin of full-fat corned beef, top with cheese and grill until crispy. Serve with beans and disappointing looks at your grandson.
Recipe
