Ingredients
1 Chef Ramsay Shepherd’s Pie (frozen)
Cooking spray or parchment liner (to prevent sticking)
Optional Add-Ons & Extras:
Shredded cheddar or Parmesan cheese for a cheesy crust
Cracked black pepper or smoked paprika for extra depth
Chopped fresh parsley or thyme for a fresh garnish
A dash of Worcestershire sauce or hot sauce for added richness
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Air Fryer
Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and let it preheat for about 3-5 minutes. This ensures even heating while keeping the mashed potatoes fluffy.
Step 2: Prepare the Frozen Shepherd’s Pie
Remove the pie from the box and plastic film, keeping the food inside its tray.
Lightly cover the top with foil to prevent the mashed potatoes from over-browning before the filling is fully heated.
Step 3: Air Fry the Shepherd’s Pie
First Round: Cook at 375°F for 20 minutes with foil on top.
Second Round: Remove the foil and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the top is slightly golden and crisp.
Cheesy Finish: In the last 2 minutes of cooking, sprinkle shredded cheese on top for a crispy, cheesy crust.
Step 4: Serve & Enjoy
Carefully remove the shepherd’s pie from the air fryer and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with fresh parsley, black pepper, or a drizzle of Worcestershire sauce for added flavor.
How to Serve This Shepherd’s Pie
Classic British Style: Serve with buttered peas or roasted carrots.
Cheesy Upgrade: Add extra shredded cheddar or Parmesan before serving.
Spicy Kick: Stir in hot sauce or red pepper flakes.
Pro Tips for Best Results
Cover with foil for the first 20 minutes to prevent excessive browning.
Let it rest for 5 minutes before eating to allow the flavors to settle.
For a crispier potato topping, cook uncovered for an additional 2-3 minutes at 400°F.
For a richer taste, sprinkle with garlic powder, thyme, or black pepper before serving.
