Cooking Steps

Preheat the oven to 200°C.
Wash or peel the potatoes and cut into rough pieces, then transfer to a pot or saucepan.
Submerge with water and boil for 12 - 15 minutes until done, covered, then drain and set aside.
Finely dice the carrot. Chop the onion and crush or mince the garlic. Finely chop the leek.

Melt half of the butter in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat and fry the carrot and leek for 2 - 3 minutes.
Add the onion and garlic and fry for 2 more minutes, then add the mince and fry for 3 - 4 minutes, separating it as you do so.
Prepare the stock in the meantime.
Remove the thyme leaves from the sprigs and set aside some to use later as garnish.

To the frying pan, add the bay leaf, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, thyme and flour. Mix well to combine, then pour in the stock.
Allow to cook gently for 8 - 10 minutes, seasoning to taste with salt and pepper.
Mash the potatoes with the mustard, the rest of the butter and a splash of milk. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Discard the bay leaf, then transfer the sauce to an oven dish.
Top with the mashed potato and the cheese, then bake in the oven for 15 - 20 minutes or until golden-brown.
Serve the cottage pie on plates.
Garnish with the reserved thyme to finish.
