Meat and potato pie with filling
Description
The recipe won't take much time. I don't know about you, but I absolutely love all kinds of savory baked goods and always try to discover new recipes from cuisines around the world. This pie, for example, comes to us from Scotland. There, it's called "shepherd's pie." In the past, shepherds used to take it with them while tending their flocks, as the pie was very filling. Nowadays, it's most commonly served with beer in pubs and bars. But you can easily make it at home too. The baked dish is ready. Serve it at the table.

Step 1
1. Pass the boiled meat through a meat grinder, add onion and the broth left from cooking the meat. Cook this mixture in a skillet until the excess broth evaporates, the onion becomes translucent, and the mince turns golden.

2. Now thaw and roll out the dough. Shape it into a crust and line the baking dish with it. Prick it several times with a fork so the dough doesn't rise where it shouldn't. Spread the filling on top and add spices.

3. Pass the boiled potatoes through a meat grinder, or blend in a blender, or mash with a special masher until smooth. Spread the potatoes over the meat layer, add spices and salt. Mix the grated cheese with cream, heat gently on the stove until the cheese begins to melt (but not completely), then pour it over the pie.

4. Bake this pie for about 40 minutes at 180 degrees. Part of the filling will seep down, soaking into the potatoes, while the rest will remain on top, with the cheese pieces forming an appetizing crust.
