Shepherd's Pie Potato Skins Recipe - (4.1/5) image

Provided by á-28504

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 pound ground beef
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 onion, diced (white or yellow)
1 clove garlic, minced
1 1/2 cups frozen mixed vegetables (pea, corn, carrots or fresh)
2 tablespoons flour
1 cup beef stock or broth or 1 bouillon cube dissolved in hot water
1/2 cup water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
Black pepper, to taste
4 large potatoes, scrubbed clean
3/4 cup milk, full or low fat
2 tablespoon butter, optional but highly recommended
Salt, to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Prick the potatoes with a fork (about 6 times on each potato) and microwave on high for 5 minutes. Then turn and microwave for a further 5 minutes. Pierce with a knife to check if they are cooked. Remove from microwave (use a dish cloth or hot pad). Cut off the tops and scoop out the center using a spoon, leaving a fairly thin skin (about 0.5 cm / 0.2"). Place the potato scooped out in a bowl. Add milk, butter and salt and mash with a potato masher until smooth, or to your liking. If you want to pipe the filling, place the mashed potato into a piping back with a large star tip nozzle. Filling: Meanwhile, make the filling. Heat the olive oil in a large fry pan over medium high heat. Add onion and garlic, sauté for 2 minutes until softened. Turn up heat to high. Add mince beef (ground beef) and cook, breaking up the mince as you go, until nicely browned and cooked, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle over flour and stir to combine. Add remaining ingredients and stir to combine. Bring to simmer and continue to stir until the sauce is thick and glossy, around 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Assemble potatoes: Fill each potato with the potato mixture so it is slightly heaped. Push down lightly to pack the filling in well. Pipe over the mashed potato, or scoop it on with a spoon then fluff it up with a fork. You probably won't use all of it - save the remainder or serve it on the side. Place in the oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the mashed potato is starting to brown on the ridges. Serve immediately!

I would not recommend this recipe. The shepherd's pie filling was dry and the potato skins were undercooked.

This recipe was okay. The shepherd's pie filling was tasty, but the potato skins were a bit too crispy for my taste.

I followed the recipe exactly and the shepherd's pie turned out perfectly. The only thing I would change is to add more cheese to the top. Overall, this is a great recipe that I will definitely be making again.

This is a great recipe for a quick and easy weeknight meal. I used ground turkey instead of beef and it turned out great.
