Put the peeled and cut potatoes in a big pot and add water to cover them. Put salt in and heat until boiling.
Lower the heat and let it cook gently until the potatoes are soft, approximately for 20 minutes.
Remove the water from the potatoes and put them back in the pot. Put the milk and butter in and mash until it's smooth and creamy. Add salt and pepper to your liking. Cover up and stay cozy.
Cook the minced meat and make the sauce.
In a big frying pan, cook the ground beef on medium-high heat until it is no longer pink. Remove any extra grease.
Put the chopped onion and crushed garlic in the pan with the meat. Cook until the onions are see-through, for around 5 minutes.
Put the flour on the beef and cook while stirring for 2 more minutes to remove the taste of the flour.
Slowly add the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce while stirring, making sure to scrape off any browned pieces from the bottom of the pan. Heat gently until the sauce thickens, approximately 5 minutes. If you are using them, put the frozen peas and carrots in the pot during the final minutes of cooking.
Add salt and pepper to your liking.
Wait on tables.
Put the smooth mashed potatoes on plates or in bowls.
Put the ground beef and gravy mixture on top.
Serve the food hot.
