Here’s a recipe that’s easy and worth trying. It ends up into something new and healthy, a potato pie that’s perfectly made not only for dessert but also for dinner’s main course. With its heavy pie filling, this pie could be served rightly as a main dish. Its filling consists of ground lamb meat, grated carrots and tomato paste and the top layer is filled with creamy mashed potatoes and the ultimate-favorite cheddar cheese.
