For a richer flavor, use bone-in lamb shoulder and slow-cook it until tender, then shred the meat and use it in the filling. Add a splash of Worcestershire sauce or a pinch of dried thyme to the meat filling for added depth of flavor. For a vegetarian version, substitute lentils or chopped mushrooms for the ground lamb. Make ahead: The meat filling and mashed potato topping can be prepared ahead of time and stored separately in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Assemble and bake just before serving.
