Instructions

Using the Instant Pot's sauté setting, cook lamb and onions, stirring, until the meat loses its pink color.
Stir in garlic, rosemary, and parsley; sauté for 1 minute.
Cancel sauté. Add carrots and beef stock to the pot.
Place potatoes in a steamer basket on top of the mixture.
Secure the lid, set vent to "sealing," and pressure cook on high for 3 minutes.
Perform a quick pressure release.
Remove potatoes. Add peas and gravy mix to the Instant Pot; sauté until thickened.
While the filling thickens, mash potatoes with 2 tablespoons butter and milk; season.
Preheat the broiler.
Transfer thickened filling to a 1 1/2-quart baking dish.
Evenly spread mashed potatoes over the filling. Brush with remaining 1 tablespoon melted butter and sprinkle with paprika.
Broil until the potato topping is browned.
