{"0":"PREPARATION","2":"1. Peel the potatoes, cut in half lengthwise, and then thinly slice; place in a large saucepan with cold water to cover by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce the heat, and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes.","4":"2. Right after you put the potatoes on to cook, begin the filling: Cook the ground meat in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon and turning frequently until the meat is nicely browned, about 7 minutes. Transfer the beef to a plate. Preheat the oven to 500A\u00b0F.","6":"3. Add 2 tablespoons oil to the same skillet. Add the onions and garlic and cook over medium heat, stirring often, until golden and tender, about 6 minutes. Return the browned meat to the pan and stir in the tomato puree, carrots, and cayenne. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is thickened, about 10 minutes. Stir in the peas and cover to keep warm.","8":"4. Drain the cooked potatoes well and return them to the pot. Mash well with a potato masher, and then stir in the milk, salt, and pepper to taste. Spoon the warm meat mixture into a 2 1\/2-to 3-quart baking dish. Spoon the potatoes on top of the mixture, leaving a scant inch border around the edge.","10":"5. Bake until the potatoes are golden, about 20 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.","12":"I cooked the meat and onions in a cast iron skillet and then cooked the pie in the oven in the skillet."}
