1

Place potatoes in a large pot, cover with water, bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook until fork tender, 10-15 minutes.

2

Drain potatoes and return to the hot pot; let rest 1 minute to evaporate remaining liquid.

Spoon the mashed potatoes on top of the meat and carefully spread into an even layer.

4

If the dish looks very full, place it on a rimmed baking sheet to catch any overflow.

6

Cool for 15 minutes before serving.
