I read all the comments about too few potatoes. So I doubled the potatoes to 3 lbs. Then I used a big pastry bag with a large rose tip to pipe them in rosettes on top. I cooked the dish in a slightly smaller glass dish, just 10" X 6". It should have made a thicker inside with just the right amount of potatoes. The potatoes were light & fluffy but they were a bit too much potatoes for the filling.

I use a ricer to make mashed potatoes so they are fluffier than those made with a traditional hand masher. When done in a ricer they come out of a pastry bag beautifully. They made a 1-1/2" to 2" layer of potatoes on top, which was just a bit too thick. The potatoes were fabulous made with half & half.

Overall a wonderful dish! I'll try 2 lbs of potatoes through the ricer next.

BTW, if you don't have a ricer-- it's the best piece of cooking equipment I own ! I'm sorry I didn't buy one years ago.

We love this recipe. Even my two years old gobbles it up. Never tried it with lamb but it is awesome with ground beef.

I have been making Shepherd's Pie for years after making this recipe I realize how boring mine was. I wanted to try something different and used this recipe and WOW is it great. I don't usually take the time to do reviews on anything but I felt I had to let everyone know this is the best.

Thank you Alton and don't ever stop doing what you do.

This is a great shepherds pie recipe! First time you make it, don't change a thing! It's not shepherds pie without the LAMB.

Alton is one of the most trustworthy Chefs on the planet, his recipes can always be counted on to deliver and this one really delivers.

Enjoy!

This is almost the same recipe that I borrowed from Gordon Ramsey. It is the best Shepherd's Pie that I have ever had. It takes a bit more work that just slapping meat & veggies together and covering them with mashed potato, but I think it is worth the extra effort. One addition that I would recommend is to add about a 1/3 cup of red wine to the chicken broth. It makes a great flavor component. I also do not put corn in mine...I don't think corn is traditional.
