Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
Place the peeled and cubed potatoes in a large saucepan and cover them with cold water. Add a small portion of the salt, bring to a boil, and cook for 15–20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
While the potatoes cook, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onions and carrots and cook for 7–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften.
Add the sliced cremini mushrooms. Increase the heat to medium-high and cook for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their liquid and begin to brown.
Stir in the smoked paprika, cumin, and oregano. Cook for 30 seconds, until fragrant.
Add the crushed tomatoes and cooked brown lentils. Season with the remaining salt and black pepper, then simmer uncovered for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the filling is thick. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Drain the cooked potatoes thoroughly and return them to the warm saucepan. Add the whole milk and unsalted butter, then mash until smooth and creamy. Season to taste with a little additional salt and pepper if desired.
Transfer the lentil and mushroom filling to a deep baking dish and spread it into an even layer. Spoon the mashed potatoes over the filling and spread them to the edges. Roughen the surface with a fork to encourage browning.
Bake for 20–25 minutes, until the filling is bubbling and the potato topping is lightly golden. For deeper browning, broil for an additional 2–3 minutes while watching carefully.
Let the gaucho pie rest for 10 minutes before serving.
