Gordon Ramsay Shepherd's Pie Recipe

Getting that perfect mashed potato topping is key to making this dish exceptional.
I love how this recipe combines simplicity with rich flavors.
One tip is to use a ricer for your potatoes to get that smooth, lump-free texture.
Add a dash of Parmesan cheese to the mash for an extra layer of flavor.
You'll find this dish not only hearty but also a breeze to prepare, making it perfect for a home-cooked meal.
