Shepherd's pie with sweet potato instead of normal potato.
Where I live shepherd pie is more about the construction than a specific meat. Was yours made with lamb? I like the substitution of sweet potato.
Absolutely - shepherd's pie is only shepherd's pie with lamb. I spice up my lamb a little bit with mexican and peruvian spices - aji amarillo and ancho chilli.
I have been substituting many dishes calling for potato with sweet potato. Its much healthier and then I can omit any sugar from the recipe.
Lamb is scarce where I live except in a few specialty shops, why it's rarely used for this dish. Any form of lamb usually only shows up in grocery stores around Easter with mint jelly sitting next to it. : / Most people here use beef which I think is referred to as Cottage Pie. I've never had it with sweet potato, but that does sound delicious. That combination of spicy and sweet is a winning combo.
I think it should work just as well with beef/Cottage Pie. HK is a former Brit colony so both versions - Cottage and Shepherd's Pie are popular staples here at the old British clubs and pubs. I usually make Shepherd's Pie bc my folks are Buddhists and don't eat beef (but I do).
For the mashed sweet potato, I use O% fat Greek yogurt and almond milk to make it creamy. I skip the butter. I do shave a bit of parmesan cheese into it bc according to Gordon Ramsey that is how to get it slightly browned.
