Welcome to Kelly's Kitchen! Next Sunday is St. Patrick’s Day so today I have a fun recipe that is perfect for a Sunday supper: Shepherd’s Pie Twice-Baked Potatoes. The savory mix of ground lamb and veggies is stuffed into baked potato skins and topped with cheesy mashed potatoes. If you don’t go for lamb, you can make it Cottage Pie Twice-Baked Potatoes by using ground beef. Let’s get right to it!

Shepherd’s Pie Twice-Baked Potatoes
Start by preheating the oven to 375º F. Scrub and pierce potatoes; rub with oil. Bake until tender, about 1 hour.
The filling for Shepherd’s Pie is simple: we have dried herbs, fresh rosemary, Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, garlic, onions, kosher salt and black pepper.
In a skillet over medium-high heat, heat the oil, and add the onions. Cook for about two minutes, then add the ground meat. Season with parsley, thyme, salt, and pepper, and add the rosemary sprigs. Cook the meat, breaking it up with a firm spatula as it cooks.
Once browned, add the garlic and Worcestershire Sauce. Stir and cook for about one minute.
Stir in the tomato paste and sprinkle the flour. Stir and cook for about one minute.
Add the frozen veggies. Mix in veggies and cook for about 3-5 minutes longer.
Taste filling and adjust seasoning if needed. Set the filling aside.
When potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut a thin slice off the top of each and discard the tops. Scoop out the pulp, leaving thin shells.
In a large bowl, mash the pulp with butter. Add the sour cream, and cheeses. Mash potatoes until combined. Spoon meat mixture into each potato shell; top with potato mixture.
Place on a baking sheet.
Bake at 375° for 20 minutes. Sprinkle with cheese and paprika; bake until melted, about 5 minutes longer. Sprinkle with chives.
These Shepherd’s Pie Twice-Baked Potatoes are such a fun and different way to enjoy Shepherd’s Pie. The potato skins crisp up in the final bake and add such a wonderful texture component to the traditional dish. I hope you give this recipe a try for St. Patrick’s day! Take care and be well, xo Kelly
