6 potatoes large uniformly-sized
2 tablespoons butter at room temperature
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 yellow onion large, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic finely chopped
14 ounces ground lamb
2 small carrots finely chopped
2 celery sticks finely chopped
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce
2 ounces cheddar cheese grated

1
Preheat oven to 400u00b0F. Pierce potatoes all over with a fork. Place in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for 40 minutes or until cooked through. Cool slightly. Cut in half and use a small spoon to scoop out flesh, leaving a 1/4 inch thick shell. Place shells on a baking tray. Place potato flesh in a large bowl. Add butter and mash until smooth.
2
Heat oil in a large frying pan over moderately high heat. Saute onion and garlic for 3 minutes or until soft. Add lamb and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon to break up lumps, for 5 minutes or until browned. Add carrot, celery, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce and 1/2 cup of water. Simmer, uncovered, for 10-12 minutes or until sauce thickens. Season to taste.
3
Spoon lamb mixture into potato shells. Place mashed potato in a piping bag fitted with a 3/4 inch star nozzle. Pipe mashed potato on lamb mixture. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake pies for 10 minutes or until browned. Serve.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
