Easy one-pot ground beef stroganoff with potatoes. A creamy, comforting dinner that’s low-prep, family-friendly, and ready in minutes.
Tasty, filling, and easy to make (and pretty wallet-friendly too), this is one of our family’s favourite meals.
Save time by cutting up the spuds and mushrooms while the onion and mince brown, and you can have this one-pot meal on the table in under 30 minutes.
Low-prep and low-mess!
Ingredients
The basics of this dish are meat and potatoes, flavoured with paprika, mustard, and sour cream. The rest are trimmings, and really, you can leave the sour cream out if you prefer and still have a tasty (dairy-free) meal.
I like to bulk it out with mushrooms and peas, but you can add any vegetables you have in your crisper.

How to Make Mince and Potato Stroganoff
Step 1 – While the pan is heating, finely dice the onions. Then, in some oil or butter, fry the onion for a minute or two until it becomes translucent.
Step 2 – Add the mince and brown, breaking the mince up with a spoon as you go. This is also a good time to chop up the potatoes and mushrooms.
Step 3 – Add the garlic, salt and pepper, paprika, and beef stock and stir to combine.
Step 4 – Add the veggies, stir well, then cover with a lid and reduce the heat to medium. Simmer for 10-20 minutes or until the potatoes are soft and cooked through (the smaller you cut the potatoes, the faster they will cook).
Step 5 – Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the mustard and sour cream. Serve topped with chopped parsley (optional).
Storage, Freezing, and Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
To reheat: warm gently on the stove over low heat or in the microwave until steaming hot, adding a splash of water or stock to loosen the sauce if needed.
I haven’t frozen this dish, but generally, potatoes and sour cream tend to become grainy when frozen. For best results, enjoy it fresh or within a few days of cooking.
Serving Suggestions
This is a one-pot dish, so you can serve it as is.
If you need to stretch it to feed more people, you can add more potatoes or serve it with some crusty bread or a green salad.
