Prepare the Lamb Filling
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sauté until translucent.
Make sure to stir occasionally to avoid burning.Brown the Lamb
Add the diced lamb and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pot.Thicken the Mixture

Bring to a simmer and let it thicken for about 10 minutes.Add Potatoes
Stir in the diced potatoes and cook for an additional 15-20 minutes, until the potatoes are tender.
You may need to add a little more stock if the mixture is too thick.Assemble the Pie
Transfer the lamb and potato mixture to a baking dish. Cover with the puff pastry, sealing the edges well. Brush with beaten egg.
Make a few slits in the pastry to allow steam to escape.Bake the Pie
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Bake the pie for 25-30 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown.
Keep an eye on it to prevent over-browning.
