Tex's Mam's Scalloped Potatoes 🐷🍲 cooking instructions
| Step 1 | Scallop the potatoes by slicing to about 9mm (⅜" on a mandolin) thick. Chop some of the smaller pieces so they'll beak down during cooking and thicken the gravy. Halve the onions, and slice to the same thickness.. |
| Step 2 | Take a stock pot and brown one side of the in the oil. When you turn to brown the other side, add the onion and cook until softened. |
| Step 3 | Tip the potatoes in to the pan and add enough hot water to not quite cover (about 6mm/¼ inch) below the surface of the potatoes. |
| Step 4 | Crumble in the stock cubes, and add the Worcestershire sauce and salt. Stir well. Bring to a boil, then immediately turn down to a nice simmer. |
| Step 5 | Simmer the potatoes, and onions for about 25-30 minutes, uncovered. |
| Step 6 | Check the taste and consistency of the potatoes and adjust if necessary, by cooking longer, or adding additional water. Stir well. |
| Step 7 | Reduce down until there's as little gravy left as possible. Drain some away if necessary first, so that you end up with small amount of concentrated flavoursome juice after reduction. |
| Step 8 | Remove from the heat and leave the pot to cool slowly, uncovered. This will allow the gravy time to slowly thicken as moisture evaporates leaving the starch behind.. |
| Step 9 | When ready to serv e, season with salt and pepper. Reheat on the hob or in the microwave. |
| Step 10 | Serve with pickled red cabbage, pickled beetroot, and crusty bread. |
