Step 1

Bring a large saucepan of water with ½ tsp salt to the boil.

Chop the potatoes into 2cm chunks (peel first if you prefer).

When boiling, add the potatoes to the water and cook until you can easily slip a knife through, 15-20 mins.

Step 4

Meanwhile, halve, peel and chop the onion into small pieces.

Step 5

Trim the carrot, then slice diagonally into 1cm thick rounds (no need to peel).

Step 6

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on high heat.

Step 7

Once hot, add the carrot and onion. Stir-fry until tender, 10-12 mins.

Add the garlic, dried thyme, tomato puree, butter and flour (see pantry for both amounts). Fry, stirring, for 1-2 mins more.

Once the potatoes are cooked, drain in a colander and return to the pan, off the heat.
