Boil the potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot.

Add butter and milk to the potatoes, then mash until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.

In a skillet, heat oil over medium heat and sauté chopped onion and garlic until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Add diced carrots and cook for another 5 minutes until softened.

Stir in ground lamb, cooking until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

Mix in tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, beef broth, peas, thyme, and rosemary. Simmer for 10 minutes.

Spoon the lamb mixture into mini pie crusts or ramekins.

Top with mashed potatoes, spreading evenly to cover the filling.

Sprinkle cheddar cheese on top of the mashed potatoes.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the tops are golden and bubbly.

Let cool slightly before serving.
