Filling

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Peel and chop the carrots and onion. Mince the garlic.

  2. 2

    Cook the Lamb

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add ground lamb and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat.

Champ Potatoes

    Peel and chop the potatoes into chunks. Place them in a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 6

    Mash the Potatoes

    Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter, milk, and salt, then mash until smooth.

  3. 7

    Add Green Onions

    Chop the green onions and fold them into the mashed potatoes.
