>start preparing potatoes with brown sauce
>everything is boiling and cooking
>realize no flour to make the sauce thick
is there any other way to make the sauce thicker?
Right now it's just mincemeat, onion and beef broth, so basically watery

Cornstarch
Breadcrumbs
Instant potato flakes (or just finely grate a potato)
vegetables + blender.
>>beef broth
I assume that's store-bought? If you use proper homemade stock then the gelatin from the stock will thicken by reduction

It's a brown smelly cube you throw in 1/2l of water and it mixes into the water into very tasty broth, so yes, store bought

Begin by heating 2 tablespoons oil or fat in a saucepan over medium heat until a pinch of flour sprinkled into the oil will just begin to bubble. Then, whisk in 3-1/2 tablespoons of flour to form a thick paste the consistency of cake frosting. Continue whisking as the roux gently bubbles and cooks to the shade desired.

Looks like you have some fat from the beef...

Not gonna make it.

I am trying to distance myself from starch shit, I've mostly quit pastas, but sometimes I just feel like eating something traditional home made stuff so I get potatoes and meat and just have at it
Potatoes are engraved in my country's culture and I've been eating them ever since I was a little boy, my parents, grandparents, schools, it tastes fucking incredible with meat.

Why post a time-sensitive question like this on one of the slowest boards on all of 4chan?
Did you forget there's such a thing as fucking google, or do you require answers to be spoon-fed to you?

Illiterate fuck

This guy knows. If you've already got a mostly assembled dish, mix equal amounts of cornstarch and water (about 1tsp of each per cup of liquid in your dish) into a slurry, then quickly whisk it into your dish and continue to reduce, should thicken in 3 minutes.

top advice, alternatively use gelatin or starch
