2. 2

   Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water.

   Aşçının notu: Adding salt to the water helps season the potatoes from the inside out.

3. 3

   Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until fork-tender.

   Yaklaşık 20 dk.

4. 4

   While the potatoes are cooking, heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat.

   Aşçının notu: Ensure your skillet is oven-safe for easy transfer later.

5. 5

   Add the onion, carrot, and celery to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes until softened.

   Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the lentils are tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed.

   Yaklaşık 25 dk.

   Aşçının notu: Stir occasionally to prevent sticking to the bottom of the pan.

13. 13

    Spread the mashed potatoes evenly over the lentil mixture in the skillet.

    Yaklaşık 2 dk.

    Aşçının notu: You can use a fork to create ridges on top for extra crispiness.

    Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

    Yaklaşık 25 dk.

15. 15

    Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
