Cottage pie is a classic British dish made with minced meat, usually beef, cooked in a rich sauce and topped with mashed potatoes. The dish is then baked until the mashed potatoes form a golden crust. Shepherd's pie, on the other hand, is made the same way with minced lamb or mutton. Its French version is called hachis Parmentier.
