Any recipe that Anna has created is amazing to me and this Shepherd’s Pie is no different. I am so happy to say I have also discovered a way of doing mash potato in the Thermomix that doesn’t taste like wallpaper glue. Thank you Anna!!

 
Today’s cooking journey took me to Anna’s books once again, but in the fun of the day I decided to convert to being able to use my Thermomix. Less chopping, less mess, less cleaning up! 👏🏻
 
Get on a make sure your following Anna Van Dyken for her amazing creations.

Notes

STOVE TOP MASH
To make parmesan mash, add potato and stock cube to a large saucepan of boiling water. Cover and gently boil for 20 minutes or until tender. Reserve ¼ cup (60 ml) of cooking liquid, then drain well. Return potato to saucepan, add parmesan and reserved cooking liquid and mash until smooth. Set aside.
For those of you that are like me and HATE mash potato done in the Thermomix (I don't like to eat wallpaper glue - you must use waxy potatoes for the thermomix and I use low carb ones) THIS is amazing. With the stock and parmesan, it is like my mash potato and not gluggy at all.
If like me you use Chicken Breast Mince - the WW Points are 5 😊
