    1. \u00a0Preheat oven to 400\u00b0F. Place potatoes in large pot of water. Over medium heat, bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain; mash with potato masher, adding 1 Tbsp. butter, milk, salt, and pepper. Stir until fluffy.<\/li>\n
    2. Meanwhile, heat oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add onion, carrot, celery, \u00bd Tbsp. thyme, and \u00bd Tbsp. rosemary; cook until softened, about 15 minutes. Increase heat to medium and add lamb. Cook about 10 minutes, stirring to break up meat and brown evenly.<\/li>\n
    3. Add flour and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add stock, 1 Tbsp. thyme, 1 Tbsp. rosemary, nutmeg, salt, and pepper to taste. Reduce heat to low; simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 5 minutes. Let cool slightly, then transfer to a 9-inch pie plate or baking dish. Spread the mashed potatoes over top. Top with 1 Tbsp. cold butter (cut up).<\/li>\n
    4. Bake until potatoes are browned, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool slightly before cutting and serving.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
