My take on an old English recipe...
I made some mashed potatoes last Sunday without realizing that I made more than I intended to. I could not let half a kilo of potatoes go to waste...Incidentally, come Monday, my mom wasn't feeling well enough to cook lunch. I was tasked, then, to whip up something...fast!
I did no whipping, though. Just some peeling, chopping, crying (pesky onions) sauteing, and baking. Making this dish was a breeze. Caramelize some onions in a pat of butter. Saute a kilo of ground meat (chicken, beef or pork). Add some chopped carrots and corn. Season with salt, pepper and a dash of dried basil. Maintain moisture by adding some water as needed.
When meat mixture is done, transfer to an oven-proof dish and generously top with mashed potatoes. Bake for 10 minutes or until top turns golden brown.

This is super yummy. Best enjoyed on a cool or rainy day. The browned top creates an almost crunchy crust. This provides a great contrast to the soft and creamy inside. This can be eaten with or without rice!
I like this dish sooooo much that I almost polished the whole thing by my own, gluttony self!!!
