Jamie Oliver Shepherd’s pie with crispy potato recipe on Jamie’s Comfort Food

Jamie Oliver cooks a tasty Shepherd’s pie with roasted shoulder of lamb and crispy potato dish on Jamie’s Comfort Food.

Jamie says: “I believe this is the ultimate shepherd’s pie – a recipe designed to use up leftover roasted meat. Historically, you’ll find it had potato on the bottom, sides and top, so I was inspired to run with this, giving you a pie with crispy potato all the way round, gorgeous tender meat and veg in the middle, and the best gravy to pour over your portion. This is definitely next-level cooking.”

The ingredients for the filling are:
2 kg shoulder of lamb, bone in, olive oil, 4 red onions. 4 carrots, 4 sticks of celery, 1 medium swede, a few sprigs of fresh rosemary and 1 heaped tablespoon plain flour.

For the topping, sides & bottom: 2.5 kg Maris Piper potatoes, 2 good knobs of unsalted butter, 100 g Cheddar cheese, 2 sprigs of fresh rosemary and 60 g fresh breadcrumbs.
