Ingredients

    4 large potatoes (unpeeled), cubed (2 lb/1 kg)
    1/4 cup (50 mL) milk or buttermilk
    1 green_onion, sliced
    1 lb (500 g) lean ground_beef

    2-1/2 cups (625 mL) small mushrooms (about 8 oz/250 g)

    1-1/2 cups (375 mL) sodium-reduced beef stock
    1 tbsp (15 mL) each cornstarch and Dijon_mustard
    1 cup (250 mL) frozen peas
