Preparation

1. Pre-heat the oven to 200°C (380°F). Peel the potatoes, cut them and put them in salted, boiling water. In the meantime, chop the onion, garlic, celery, carrot and rosemary.
2. Fry the meat with the vegetables and salt them. In case you don't have a sauce, take the fond, take a tablespoon of flour, add it to the meat and add some fond. Let it thicken so that you get a nice sauce.
3. Sieve it and let the sauce drain. The potatoes should be ready now. Get rid of the water and add about 1 tablespoon of butter, a pinch of milk as well as salt and nutmeg. Mash the potatoes and maybe season it again, just as you like it. It is ok, if it seems dry, we need this consistency. So watch out for butter and milk.
4. Now take the ovenproof dish and add some oil. Now spread the chopped rosemary and the puree.
   You have to make sure that there is no spot left without mashed potatoes. It's a good idea to start with the 'walls' and then the ground. Like that you won't miss too much. We took our hands to get everything on the wall because no tool is as good as your own 2 hands 😉 You don't have to do this but it won't be as good as it can be. That is a great trick and important for it to be special.
5. Now add the meat and veggies, add 1-2 spoons of sauce and cover it with a lid of mashed potatoes. It is important again that you don't have any free spots. Now put it in the oven for about 40 minutes. You can serve the rest of the sauce to dinner.
6. The roll, some rosemary and the chicken skin should be mixed now and either chopped very fine or put in a blender. Fry it in a pan with some butter and wait until it is crunchy. When the 40 minutes have passed, add the cheddar to the pie and put it back to the oven for another 10 minutes. I add the crumbs when I serve it so that they stay crunchy.
