Shepherd's Pie in Potato Pots Recipe
Shepherd's pie in an "edible pot" with potatoes can make a splash in your home. This is an unusual potato baked twice: under a ruddy layer of mashed potatoes there is a hearty filling of beef and vegetables. And instead of casserole - potato "pots", which are also edible.
Servings 4
Cook Time 60 minutes
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Butter + 1 tbsp melted butter
- 60 ml Milk
- 2 tablespoons Sour cream
- 1 bunch Green Onion
- 1 piece Carrot
- 400 gram Minced meat beef
- 2 tablespoons Sauce - cream, balsamic
- 1 tablespoon Tomato paste
- 0,5 teaspoon Thyme fresh leaf
- 100 gram Green peas frozen
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 50 ml Water
Instructions
- To prepare the dish, take four large potatoes.
- Prick the potatoes with a fork from all sides and brush with 1 tbsp.l. melted butter. Bake the potatoes in the oven on a baking sheet at a temperature of 200 degrees for about 1 hour until cooked and the desired softness.
- Then let the potatoes cool down a little. Cut a small slice on top of each potato.
- Carefully scrape the pulp from the potatoes into a bowl with a teaspoon.
- Mash the potatoes (in any way convenient for you) together with milk, sour cream, add 2 tbsp butter and 0.5 tsp salt.
- Add the green onions. Mix well.
- Meanwhile, melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the chopped carrots and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and ruddy for 5-6 minutes.
- Add the ground beef and cook, breaking the pieces with a wooden spoon, for about 4 minutes, until it is browned.
- Pour in the balsamic cream sauce, add tomato paste, thyme, 0.5 tsp salt and 50 ml of water, bring to a boil. Then turn down the heat and cook for about 1 minute, until the meat and carrots are covered with sauce and a little liquid remains at the bottom of the pan.
- Add the frozen green peas and cook for another 1-2 minutes to warm it up.
- Put the filling in the "pots" of potatoes.
- Squeeze the top of the cooking bag out of the cooked mashed potatoes (or leave it just with a spoon).
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Bake the potato "pots" for about 15 minutes, until the dish is warm and the potatoes are browned on top.
- Cut the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter into 4 parts and spread out in portions. Enjoy your meal!
