Slow Cooker Scottish Stovies
Slow Cooker Scottish Stovies is a traditional ‘stoved’ potato recipe adapted or the Slow Cooker. Chunks of potato cook slowly with sliced onions, seasoned with a savoury beef flavour.
Ingredients
- 900 grams Potatoes
- 2 onions
- 20 grams solid vegetable fat or beef dripping
- 1 Beef stock cube if using vegetable fat
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 30 millilitres water
Instructions
- Slice the onions and cut the potatoes into 4 cm pieces
- Place the dripping or fat in a pan and very gently sauté the onions. They should soften but not colour.
- Add the potatoes and stir them to coat and mix thoroughly with the onions.
- Transfer to your slow cooker pot.
- Grind up stock cube (if using) with salt, sprinkle over the potatoes and onions in the slow cooker.
- Pour over the water, don't be tempted to add more, 30 ml is all you need) put on the lid and cook for 1 hour 15 minutes on HIGH, then 1 hour 15 minutes on LOW.
- When the potatoes are cooked, take a wooden spoon and roughly break up the potatoes. You want to retain chunks of potato but roughen up the edges.
Notes
If you have a slow cooker pot that can go on the stove, you can saute the onions in the pot rather than using a separate pan.
Once the Scottish Stovies are ready, you can serve as a side dish or add leftover meat or vegetables to the potatoes and serve as a main meal.
