Minced beef, potato and green beans make a soft mash when cooked thoroughly. Finely chopped green beans need their ends and any strings removed.
Peel and dice potato, then cook until completely tender. Trim green beans and remove any strings, cooking until very soft.
Cook minced beef separately, breaking up clumps and checking that the centre reaches 71°C (160°F).
Finely blend or mash beef, potato and beans with a little safe liquid, stir in olive oil and cool before serving.
Remove tough bean strings, cook beans until fully tender and mash with soft potato and safely cooked minced beef. Avoid chewy bean pieces and firm meat clumps.
