So many thanks Chef Billy. I grew up in the UK with this little gem. My Mum always made it on Monday after our Sunday dinner. Later it was a great way to get veggies into my boys. We always added parsnips, absolutely essential. I have a food mill but we prefer hand mashed – not so pasty! A sprinkle of cheese – delicious.
I made a cottage pie version of this. I did caramelized onion and garlic then added the ground beef. Added frozen vegetable mix just before the flour. I didn't have fresh herbs so used a dry Italian blend. I forgot to add the butter to my potatoes and had to scrape them off the pie and back into a bowl – ha ha! The prep time took way longer than 15 minutes. Was more like an hour and a half. Still, this turned out incredibly good. I went back for seconds. Thank you so much Chef Billy!
I’m ready for this again soon!
I made this today. I made recipe x3 to give some to the old lady I take care of & one for my in-laws. They all thought I bought it 🤣🤣🤣
It was spectacular. Thank you. This home cook is so good because of following your tips, people think I’m a professional
Your so wonderful for sharing all this information. I feel like I finally made it through culinary school. It’s always been my dream
Love your skills !
In my town no ground lamb , gauss my pie will be cottage pie.
Looks delicious. I like mine a little less minced but it's all good 👍.
We never had Shepherd Pie and we really enjoyed it. My youngest son helped with the dicing of the vegetables and my boys are looking forward to trying your lasagna recipe soon.
Dude I made this for the 4th in the Cottage Pie version and it was a hit!
I don't have a food processor so the prep took a bit longer but I need the knife practice anyway. Also my food mill (Flotte Lotte) bottom scraper spring kept falling off – ugh but otherwise another hands up walking around so good recipe!
Thank you Chef!!!
Hi Billy – where did you buy this lovely pot with the strainer?. I would love to buy one.
I do not eat red meat can I make a Sheppard's pie with chicken mince.
I have never heard of tomato paste or garlic in Shepherds Pie, and I much prefer my veg a bit chunkier. However, your mashed potatoes look Divine! Must try….
Who taught you how to peel carrots?
Hi chef. Do you add thyme or rosemary in the mince lamb? U said thyme but rosemary came up on the screen.
A food mill? I'd never heard of such a thing. Wow 👏🏾
When I buy parsley from the store, should I always wash it off before I use it?
I would use (moving ahead into the future two weeks) the leftover leg of lamb you roasted yesterday…
You are so calm when speaking. I will on Saturday making this. Ty
Thank you I will try it 👏🏻
I swear I got a wiff of the mince as you were making it, looks divine!!! ….I must make!!👌🇦🇺
My family loved this… I forgot the tomato paste but hey, I am no Chef Parisi… I also added red, green, and yellow peppers. I added petite greens peas and white and yellow corn just before baking. You don't want them to be mushy and you want them to maintain their vibrant color. For the potatoes, I used Fontina, Pecorino Romano, and Parmesan with just enough buttermilk to loosen the potatoes so they would provide tang and make them easier to pipe. I also substituted the sour cream for crème fraîche.
It said Rosemary not thyme, lol
I love lazy cooking! I have autoimmune! Thanks for using this feature!
Iam chef ruthresh
In the recipe description below it says rosemary, but you actually say thyme. However, I know that it being lamb and there is tomato paste in it you can use both. I'm just getting use to using thyme in my food. I've been experimenting with it. I grew up thinking Rosemary, Thyme and Oregano are red sauce herbs. Yes, I know I needed to expand my cooking knowledge when using herbs. I really do love to experiment in the kitchen 😋.
Had this while living in Ireland, I guess I’ve been making shepherds pie all these years. Thank you.
Looks amazing chef…my dad might even enjoy this, he’s such a picky eater but I bet he’ll love it.
Amazing, Thanks
No, this goes far beyond potatoe mash — these are pommes duchesse 8). Discovered your chanel yesterday and I really enjoy the combination of really good technical instructions, aesthetics and the sympathetic chef! Greetings from Germany
Since I'm not a fan of mashed potatoes I substitute with mashed Hokkaido. Highly recommend.
Always enjoy your videos
Sorry man, no meat on Friday
Hey Billy, thanks for clarifying the shepherds pie vs a cottage pie. Here’s another myth clarification for ya…
Corned Beef – the MYTH (poem)
GOOD GRIEF – NOT BEEF!
I just want to put something straight
About what should be on your plate,
If it's corned beef you're makin'
You're sadly mistaken,
That isn't what Irishmen ate.
If you ever go over the pond
You'll find it's of bacon they're fond,
All crispy and fried,
With some cabbage beside,
And a big scoop of praties beyond.
Your average Pat was a peasant
Who could not afford beef or pheasant.
On the end of his fork
Was a bit of salt pork,
As a change from potatoes 'twas pleasant.
This custom the Yanks have invented,
Is an error they've never repented,
But bacon's the stuff
That all Irishmen scoff,
With fried cabbage it is supplemented.
So please get it right this St. Paddy's.
Don't feed this old beef to your daddies.
It may be much flasher,
But a simple old rasher,
Is what you should eat with your tatties. ☘️
