So, do ya'all use a pie crust or use potatoes as a crust? I've done both and even a mix of the two, but a shepherd pie is a good thing in the bleak of winter. Share your family favourites! What is your favourite ingredients to add etc.! just thought I'd bring this old fave out of hiding. My BF and I both love working on them and the results are always good.
Any winter supper pie type dish is welcome =)
I'll post a recipe once I make my latest creation

Well, Annika, I make two different ones--in the Autumn, I make a curried shepherds pie with ground sausage, peas and carrots, cream and eggs to bind and curry to taste. The potato layer is sweet potato, butternut squash and a few russets to make it "stick together" instead of butter and cream to mash em', mash em with maple syrup. Bake it and broil it to get those brown crusty swirls!!!
The second one I make is very traditional, based on my friend's pie in Cornwall, England. She didn't use a crust, the bottom was a mix of mutton, stew beef etc..., some onion to flavor, and she added peas, and carrots in rounds. Basically she used what she had on hand, but that was the basis. On the top it was mashed potatoes and parsnips with pads of butter melted in the top while baking. YUM. And Oh so good when the wind is whipping around the eaves.

I love my Shepherds Pie! I use mashed potatoes, ground beef (I know lamb is traditional but I don't like it in this dish), tarragon, perhaps some veggies left over, some seasonings. Now I'm getting hungry.
