How about combining it with a more modern dish: potato skins?! Watch how they come together and give this delicious combo a try!
SHEPHERD’S PIE POTATO SKINS
Serves 4
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes
You’ll Need
Baked Potato Mash
–4 large russet potatoes, scrubbed clean
–¼ to ½ cup whole milk
–2-½ tablespoons butter
–½ teaspoon salt
Filling
–1 tablespoon olive oil
–½ medium onion, diced
–8 ounces ground beef
–2 tablespoons flour
–1 cup beef broth
–2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
–1-½ teaspoons salt
–¾ teaspoon black pepper
–1-½ cups frozen vegetables
How To
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Prick the potatoes with a fork and microwave on high for 5 minutes. Rotate and cook another 5 minutes. Test with a knife to make sure they’re done.
- Cut the tops off the potatoes and scoop the insides into a bowl, leaving a ¼-inch wall around the skin.
- Add the milk, butter and salt to the bowl of potato and mash until smooth. If you’ll be piping the potatoes, place them into a piping bag fitted with a large star tip and reserve for later.
- In a sauté pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and sauté until translucent.
- Add the ground beef and cook, breaking into smaller pieces, until browned and cooked through.
- Sprinkle the flour over the beef and stir to combine. Add the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper and frozen veggies to the pan. Bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce has thickened and become glossy. Remove from the heat.
