Savoury Mince with Pan-fried Potatoes

Mince Beef is one of those easy ingredients that always comes in handy when you're trying to cook for a young family, especially when you have an almost toddler who likes to explore with his food.... to touch, taste and decorate his hair with!

There are just so many ways to cook mince meat, it's just so easy to cook with. It's not an expensive cut and just like my mum would say,"just add something to it to put a little kick to it"  you can always be creative and fresh with ideas. You can cook it with the most simplest of ingredients and make a pasta sauce, or a filling for a meat pie or lasagne or just a simple savoury mince with potatoes.
