Stovie Tatties 
Cut up into small pieces two or three onions, and fry them together with any small scraps of meat. Peel and cut up into smallish pieces about half-a-dozen large potatoes. Put the pieces of potato into a pan that has in it only sufficient water to cover the bottom. Add small pieces of butter, and when the butter has melted and run through the potatoes, add the fried onions and meat. Salt, and simmer slowly with the lid on until the potatoes are quite soft.
