Ingredients

How to make it

  • Peel the potatoes and cut into 1/2-inch dice. Place in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water. Set over high heat, cover and bring to a boil. Once boiling, uncover, decrease the heat to maintain a simmer and cook until tender and easily crushed with tongs, approximately 10 to 15 minutes. Place butter into a microwave-safe container and heat in the microwave until warmed through, about 35 seconds. Drain the potatoes in a colander and then return to the saucepan. Mash the potatoes and then add the yogurt, ranch and butter, salt and pepper and continue to mash until smooth. Stir in the yolks until well combined.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the filling. Add the lamb, salt and pepper and cook until browned and cooked through. Drain the fat. add the onion and carrots and sauté just until they begin to take on color and are soft, approximately 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic and stir to combine.. Sprinkle the meat with the flour and toss to coat, continuing to cook for another minute. Add the tomato paste, chicken broth, Worcestershire, thyme, and mustard and stir to combine. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer slowly 10 to 12 minutes or until the sauce is thickened slightly.
  • Add the corn and peas to the mixture and spread evenly into an 11 by 7-inch glass baking dish. Sprinkle the cheese over the mixture and then top with the mashed potatoes, starting around the edges to create a seal to prevent the mixture from bubbling up and smooth with a rubber spatula. Place on a parchment lined half sheet pan on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 25 minutes or just until the potatoes begin to brown. Place under a broiler for 3-5 min If the potatoes don’t brown very well. Remove to a cooling rack for at least 15 minutes before serving.

    " It was good "
    swiftset ate it and said...
    I added rutabagas to the mince, used as much rosemary as thyme, added 3 tbsp of flat-leaf parsley after the mince had cooked, added in a cup of merlot, and used parmesan cheese. I forgot the peas and corn :(

    I got 6 miniloaf pans out of this.
