Method
-
Step 1
Heat the oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. Prick the potatoes then bake for 45 minutes- 1 hour or until tender.
-
Step 2
While the potatoes cook, put the lamb mince in a large non-stick pan, season and fry until browned. There should be enough fat in the mince so you won’t need any oil.
-
Step 3
Add the onion and cook for 5 minutes. Add the garlic, carrot, celery and rosemary, cover and cook for another 10 minutes, stirring now and again until the veg is soft.
-
Step 4
Stir in the flour until it disappears then, if using, add the wine and cook until evaporated. Stir in the stock and Worcestershire sauce, cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
-
Step 5
Halve the potatoes then scoop out the middles into a bowl, leaving a 1cm-thick shell of potato. Mash the butter into the scooped potato with a fork then stir in ¾ of the cheddar and chives.
-
Step 6
Put the potato halves on a large roasting tray. Divide the mince between the shells then top with the cheesy mash. Rough up the surface with a fork then sprinkle over the rest of the cheese and put in the oven and cook for 20-25 minutes or until golden and bubbling. Sprinkle with the remaining chives and serve.
