Stovies

Known in full as stoved tatties, this Scottish one-pot dish of potatoes slowly stewed with onions, carrots and meat like mutton or beef was traditionally prepared to make use of the Sunday roast leftovers. Stovies come in two versions: the simpler barefoot or barfit stovies are made solely with potatoes and onions stewed in roast dripping, whereas the so-called high-heelers include plenty of meat. In Aberdeen, stovies are traditionally served with oatcakes and milk.
