Description

This classic Beef Shepherd’s Pie features a rich and savory ground beef filling, deeply flavored with aromatic vegetables and a hint of umami. It’s perfectly complemented by a fluffy, golden mashed potato topping. This dish provides ultimate comfort food, ideal for family dinners.

Ingredients

  • 2.5 lbs Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and quartered
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup warm whole milk or heavy cream
  • Salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. Place the peeled and quartered potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a generous pinch of salt to the water.
  2. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to medium and simmer until the potatoes are very tender when pierced with a fork, about 15-20 minutes.
  3. Drain the potatoes thoroughly and return them to the empty hot pot.
  4. Add the melted butter and warm milk or cream to the potatoes.
  5. Mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy, being careful not to overmix. Season with additional salt to taste. Set aside.
