Notes
- To make it look fancy, use a piping bag fitted with a star tip to create a pretty swirled pattern. Or use the back of a spoon to create rustic peaks and valleys in the potato topping.
- For a gorgeously browned and crispy potato topping, place the shepherd's pie under the broiler for the last 2-3 minutes of baking. Just keep a close eye on it to make sure it doesn't burn.
- You can assemble the shepherd's pie up to 24 hours in advance and store it in the fridge until ready to bake. Just be sure to cover it tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil to prevent the top from drying out. When you're ready to bake, simply remove the covering and pop it in the oven as directed.
