1lb starchy potatoes, peeled and chopped
1lb sweet potatoes, peeled and chopped
½ cup chicken broth or stock
4 tbsp finely chopped parsley
1 egg, lightly beaten
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Steamed green beans, to serve
For the filling
1¼–1½ cups chicken stock or broth
2 leeks, washed, trimmed and thinly sliced
1 garlic clove, minced
2½ cups (12oz) carrots, peeled and cut into ½in dice
1½ cups (8oz) fresh or frozen peas
1½ cups (4oz) mushrooms, sliced
1½lb cooked chicken, cut into ½in dice
3 tbsp finely chopped tarragon
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Boil the potatoes in a large pot for 15–20 minutes, adding the sweet potatoes after around 8 minutes. When tender, drain and return to the pot.
2. Add the chicken broth, mash until smooth and season to taste. Stir in the parsley and set aside.
3. To make the filling, place the broth, leeks, garlic, carrots, peas and mushrooms in a pot and cook over low heat for 12–15 minutes, stirring often, until the leeks have softened. Add the chicken to the pot and stir to mix well.
4. Add the tarragon to the chicken and vegetable mix, season to taste and cook gently for 3–4 minutes, stirring often. Remove from the heat and transfer to a medium-sized pie dish.
5. Spread the mashed potatoes over the chicken mixture and brush the top with the beaten egg. Bake in the oven for 20–25 minutes or until golden and bubbling. Serve immediately with steamed green beans.
