We put McCain shepherd’s pie to the air fryer test and the results did not disappoint

McCain air fryer sheperd's pie

We put our favourite McCain shepherd’s pie from Kamini Pather to the ultimate test: the Philips Essential XL Connected Airfryer test.

We’re not going to lie – the prospect of making good old comforting shepherd’s pie but in half the time and with a crispier topping than ever seen before is a challenge we simply could not pass up!

A few tweaks were made to the original recipe: the butternut mash topping was swapped for McCain Crispy Skin On Oven Chips because air fryers were made for chips and there’s no such thing as too many chips, ever!

The Philips Essential XL Connected Airfryer was easy to use. Simply download the app onto your phone and then, bam, 15 minutes later – hot comforting shepherd’s pie awaits! The results were spectacular. One might even go as far as to say that this shepherd’s pie was golden, crisp and utterly chip-tastic!

An easy and satisfyingly meaty sheperd’s pie made with lamb mince, loaded with McCain Sweetcorn and McCain Cut Green Beans, all topped with McCain Crispy Skin On Oven Chips – it’s a quick wonder dish (thanks to a handy gadget called the Philips Essential XL Connected Airfryer) that meets all those nutritional needs in one effortless bite.

We loved how golden and crispy the chips were and both the sweetcorn and green beans kept their vibrant colours – we’re giving this McCain Crispy Skin On Oven Chip-topped shepherd’s pie and the Philips Essential XL Connected Airfryer a double thumbs-up!
