## Tips

- Traditionally made from leftovers like sausages, beef mince, stew, or corned beef.
- Cut carrots about a half-inch thick so they don't disappear into the sauce.
- Cutting potatoes in chunks allows some to break down to thicken the gravy while others hold their shape.
- Garlic and herbs are optional, non-traditional additions.
- Serve with par-baked bread rolls.
