In the States, it’s more common to use ground beef. Both are delicious, and lamb can easily be subbed into this recipe following the same instructions. Can I make this ahead of time? You can make the mashed potato topping and the filling up to 2 days in advance. We recommend waiting to assemble until right before baking to help prevent the potatoes from drying out and to keep the layers distinct.
