Notes

Need to make it dairy-free? No problem. Instead of butter, use a dairy-free butter substitute like Earth Balance.
If you can tolerate dairy, you can prepare your mashed potatoes with milk or half and half instead of water.
I love to make homemade mashed potatoes, but if you want to save time Betty Crocker Potato Buds are gluten free and ready in 5 minutes.
You can keep leftover cottage pie in the fridge for 3 to 4 days. Just let it cool to room temperature before putting it in an airtight container to keep it fresh.

If you want to store it longer, you can freeze it! Just place it in a freezer-safe container, and it’ll stay good for up to 3 months.

To reheat, you can warm it in the oven (for that crispy top!) or pop it in the microwave. If it’s frozen, it's best to let it thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.
