Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go

  1. Peel the potatoes

    Peel the potatoes, cut them into large cubes and put them in the saucepan. Cover them with cold water and add a pinch of salt.

  2. Cook the potatoes

    Bring the water to a boil over medium heat, then lower the heat to keep a gentle boil. Cook for 20 to 25 min, until tender.

  3. Prep the green beans

    Take the green beans out of the freezer and put them in the colander under cold water to thaw them quickly.

  4. Slice the onions and mushrooms

    Peel and thinly slice the onions. Clean the mushrooms and slice them.

  5. Cook the patties

    Heat the nonstick skillet over high heat with no fat. Add the patties and cook them 3 to 4 min per side for rare. Season with salt and pepper at the end.

    Tip · For juicy patties, don't press them with the spatula while they cook.

  6. Cook the onions and mushrooms

    In the same skillet, add 10 g of butter and cook the onions and mushrooms over medium heat for 5 min. Sprinkle with the flour, stir well and cook for 1 min.

  7. Add the broth and simmer

    Add 30 cl of hot water, crumble in the bouillon cube and let it simmer over low heat for 10 min, stirring now and then.

  8. Drain the potatoes

    Drain the potatoes in the colander and put them back in the saucepan over low heat for 1 min to dry them out.

  9. Mash the potatoes

    Add the milk and the rest of the butter (5 g) to the potatoes and mash with a fork until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

    Tip · If the mashed potatoes are too thick, add a little warm milk to loosen them.

  10. Cook the green beans

    In the saucepan you used for the potatoes, heat the green beans with 2 tbsp of water over medium heat for 4 min. Season with salt and pepper.
