1 Cup (250ml) - Vegetable or Chicken Stock

Method -
1. Place the peeled whole potatoes into a large saucepan or pot and fill the pot with enough cold water to cover the potatoes by 1 inch. Place the saucepan or pot over high heat, boil, and cook for 22-24 minutes or until soft but not completely falling apart. Once cooked, pour the potatoes through a colander (sieve) and allow them to drain.
2. Place a small saucepan over low heat and add the milk. Allow the milk to heat slowly, but don't let it come to a simmer. Remove from heat.
3. Mix the potatoes using a potato ricer or masher until they're incredibly smooth. Pass the mash through a fine mesh sieve with a bowl underneath to get the smoothest mashed potato possible (optional). Check the salt and pepper and adjust if needed.
4. Preheat oven to 180.c - 350.f.
5. Heat a large, high-rimmed pan over medium-high heat. Add olive oil, beef mince, salt, and pepper and cook for 5 minutes or until the liquid evaporates. Add onions, carrots, celery, garlic, flat-leaf parsley, rosemary, thyme, concentrated tomato paste, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix well and cook for 5 minutes.
6. Add the red wine and reduce for 5 minutes or until reduced by half. Add in the chicken or vegetable stock and frozen peas and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and cook for 15 minutes. Check and adjust seasoning. Remove from heat.
7. Add the beef mix to a large roasting dish roughly 30cm long. Add the mashed potatoes over the top and gently spread them out, covering the surface with a spatula. Use a fork to rough the potato surface and grate over the parmesan cheese. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the mashed potatoes are golden and crispy. Remove and rest for 10 minutes. Serve and dig in.

❤ thank s for opening up. It makes you real and I can empathize with your struggle. I’m on antidepressants and talk therapy. Having a kind following and comfort food makes life better. Let’s show love to each other. Cheers to you for not acting like your life is perfect and being vulnerable. It’s refreshing.

Dear Chef Jack, i very rarely comment on videos but this time i think it´s neccessary. I moved out of my parents house last year to go to med school after working in EMS for some time. I´ve never really learned to cook anything before so now that i´m on my own i looked for quick an easy to make recepies. That is when i found your channel, now over the time many of your recepies are my comfort food. Especially during times when i can´t handle the stress that univerity causes sometimes i pick out one your dishes to cook myself. It really works wonders to take my mind of all the tolls that university takes. So i sincerely thank you for not only teaching me how to cook but also for providing me with avery tasty form of therapy :)

It is so hard to ask for help. Also, admitting that you need help. But, after you ask you won’t regret it. You’ve got this.
-
Lovely, in every sense of the word. And the fact that you’re doing this in Australia is mind blowing to many of us, I’m sure.
-
Beautiful looking cottage pie mate! Everything you’re achieving is so well deserved! Love seeing your confidence grow with each and every video, you’re killing it 👊🏻
-
Jack, thanks for sharing. You are so loved.

Very brave of you using your time to discuss your struggles and recovery. We all still have a long ways to go de-stigmatize mental health. I have my struggles too and very much appreciate your words.
-
Good on you for sharing your depression and anxiety. I have both of those so I know what it's like. Just know that you're bringing a lot of joy to a lot of people's lives by sharing your wisdom with us. You've helped me out a lot and several of your recipes are now staples. Funnily enough I always loved it when my mum cooked cottage pie at home and would have more than a normal amount of servings, haha. I'm definitely going to make your version as I'm sure it's even better.

Dear Chef Jack: I just made this Cottage Pie today. One bite just for taste before divvying it up between family members. Delicious. One side note, on the recipe printed out you have rosemary, but in your video, you only used parsley and thyme. I followed your video. I'm sure rosemary would have been okay, but I didn't want to chance it. Thank you much too for being so brave in creating these videos. Superb. You're a natural. I can't wait to check out your other recipes. Your foodie friends, Rocco and Ruth from Cleveland (Broadview Heights), OH. USA
