Analyzing cooking steps...
You can start with leftover mashed potatoes if you have them, but the recipe shows how to make them from scratch.
Rinse chopped potatoes to prevent discoloration and remove excess starch.
Do not overcook the potatoes for mashing.
Shepherd's Pie is traditionally made with ground lamb; if using ground beef, it's sometimes called Cottage Pie.
Ensure your baking dish is deep enough to prevent the filling from bubbling out and leaking in the oven.
Placing a sheet of foil under the baking dish during baking can catch any potential leaks.
Let the pie rest for 15 minutes after baking to allow the filling to set and cool slightly before serving.
This dish can be made a day ahead and reheated; add a few extra minutes to baking time if reheating from cold.
