Instructions
Step 1: Make the Mashed Potatoes
Place the peeled and quartered potatoes in a large pot of cold, salted water. Bring to a boil and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until fork-tender.
Drain the potatoes well and return them to the hot pot for a minute to steam off any excess moisture.
Mash the potatoes until smooth. Stir in the melted butter, warm milk, beaten egg, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well combined. Let the mixture cool slightly so it’s easier to handle.
Step 2: Prepare the Meat Filling
While the potatoes are cooking, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the diced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened. Add the ground meat and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through.
Add the minced garlic and cook for one more minute until fragrant.
Stir in the tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, oregano, and salt and pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes. If using, stir in the frozen corn or peas. Remove from heat and set aside.
