Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375F.
For the Potatoes
- If you are making mashed potatoes, place the potatoes in a pot of boiling water and cook them until soft.
- Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot, add the butter. Using an electric hand mixer, blend the potatoes until smooth. Add the egg yolk and milk to the potatoes and mix until combined
- Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Set the mashed potatoes aside.
For the Filling
- While the potatoes are cooking, make the pie filling.
- In a large sauté pan, melt the butter. Add the chopped onion and sauté over medium heat until softened, 5 minutes. Add the leeks and garlic. Sauté for 5 minutes more, until the onions are completely soft.
- Add the mushrooms, if using, and sauté 2-3 minutes.
- Add the cream, stock or gravy, and marjoram. (If using stock, rather than gravy, sift 1 Tbsp of flour over the mixture in the pan and stir well.) Bring the mixture to a light simmer for 1-2 min.
- Add the chopped meat and mix well.
- Taste the mixture and adjust the salt and pepper as needed.
- Remove the sauté pan from the heat and set aside.
Putting It All Together
- Pour the meat mixture into a greased 8x8 baking dish and top it with dollops of the mashed potatoes.
- Place the dish in the oven for 40-50 minutes, until the top is nicely golden and the filling is bubbly. (You may want to place a aluminum foil lined baking sheet on the rack under your baking dish to catch any juices that bubble over.)
- Remove the pie from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
