How Do You Keep Shepherds Pie From Falling Apart?
To keep Shepherd’s pie from falling apart, it’s important to ensure that the mashed potato topping is thick and firm enough to hold its shape. Allow the mashed potatoes to cool partially before spreading them over the filling. You can also add a binding agent such as a beaten egg to the mashed potatoes to help them hold together. Letting the pie cool before slicing and serving can also help the layers stay intact.
