Step

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

In a large skillet, brown the ground meat over medium heat. Drain any excess fat.

Add the chopped onion, carrots, peas, and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook until the vegetables are softened.

Transfer the meat and vegetable mixture to a baking dish, spreading it evenly.

Step

Spoon the mashed potatoes over the meat mixture, spreading them with a spatula to cover the entire surface.

Step

Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Tips for this recipe

For a golden and crispy top, run a fork over the surface of the mashed potatoes before baking. This creates ridges that will become delightfully crunchy in the oven.
