If you make it with minced beef, it's a Cottage Pie. Either way they're brilliant and pretty easy to get right

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is a pet peeve of mine ya know!!!!!!

BTW - I make BOTH fabulously.

The key is to use Boursin Cheese, garlic, butter, pepper, and kosher salt in the unskinned potatoes prior to mashing them. Hint a little lemon zest in this goes a long way and is pretty much just fabulous.
