Instructions

Bake the potatoes in a 375º F (190º C) oven for about 50 minutes or until cooked. Or bake in an air fryer until cooked (as per your air fryer instructions.)
Remove from the oven and scoop out the center, leaving a little potato as a shell. Next, peel the skin from the top part of the potato which was cut out and place in a medium bowl.
Scoop out the more of the inside of the potato (a grapefruit spoon works well) and put the part you took out into the bowl with the tops of the potatoes. Mash or rice the remaining potato with some butter, salt and half and half (or milk) to a creamy consistency.
When finished with all of the potatoes, place on a baking tray.
Fill each potato with the ground beef mixture. Don't overfill them or they will leak.
You can pipe the mashed potato by placing the mashed potato in a piping bagwith a large tip like 4B. Or you can just spoon the potatoes on top, and fluff them up with a fork.
Next, place the shepherd's pies in baked potatoes in a baking dish for the oven, (or air fryer at 350 F/175 C) and bake for about 20 minutes.
To brown the top in the conventional oven, place under the broiler for a minute or two, but be careful as they will brown very quickly.
Remove from the oven and serve immediately. Serve your shepherd's pie baked potato immediately, but warn your diners that the filling will be extremely hot. Serve with or (without peas) or another vegetable.

Notes

Use lamb for shepherd's pie and beef for cottage pie.
