Cooking Steps
- Peel, then cut potatoes into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Add potatoes, 1 tsp salt and enough water to cover (by approx. 1 inch) to a large pot (use same for 4 ppl). Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Once boiling, reduce heat to medium. Simmer uncovered until potatoes are fork-tender, 10-12 min.
- Meanwhile, strip 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) thyme leaves from stems, then roughly chop.
- Roughly chop parsley.
- Thinly slice mushrooms.
- Heat a large oven-proof pan over medium heat.
- When hot, add bacon. Cook, flipping occasionally, until crispy, 5-7 min.** Remove from heat. Using tongs, transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate. Set aside.
- Discard bacon fat from the pan. Carefully wipe the pan clean.
- Reheat the same pan over medium. Add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter, then swirl until melted, 30 sec.
- Add mirepoix and peas. Cook, stirring often, until veggies soften slightly, 2-3 min.
- Add mushrooms, garlic purée and thyme. Cook, stirring often, until mushrooms soften slightly, 3-4 min.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Add soy sauce, 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) tomato sauce base and Gravy Spice Blend to the pan with veggies.
- Cook, stirring often, until veggies are coated, 1-2 min.
- Add stock concentrate and 3/4 cup (1 1/2 cups) water. Bring to a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low.
- Cook, stirring often, until sauce thickens slightly and veggies are tender, 3-4 min.
- Remove pan from heat.
- When potatoes are fork-tender, drain, then return them to the same pot, off heat.
- Mash cream cheese, half the parsley, 1/4 cup (1/2 cup) milk and 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) butter into potatoes until creamy.
- Season with salt and pepper, to taste. (NOTE: If you don't have an oven-proof pan, transfer filling to an 8x8-inch baking dish for 2 ppl or a 9x13-inch dish for 4 ppl.)
- Top filling with mashed potatoes, spreading into an even layer.
- Sprinkle cheddar over mashed potatoes.
- Broil pie in the middle of the oven until potato-cheese topping begins to brown, 5-6 min.
- Remove pie from the oven and allow to cool for 5 min before serving.
- Divide cottage pie between plates.
- Roughly crumble bacon.
- Sprinkle bacon and remaining parsley over top.
If you've opted to add bacon, heat a large oven-proof pan over medium heat. When hot, add bacon. Cook, flipping occasionally, until crispy, 5-7 min.** Remove from heat. Using tongs, transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate. Discard fat from the pan. Carefully wipe pan clean. Use the same pan to start the filling.
