Shepherd's Pie has another name, Cottage Pie, and mashed potatoes have another alternative - sweet potatoes. Whatever you call it, there's enough in the recipe to bake one casserole and freeze the other for up to 3 months. Did we mention Cumberland Pie is a cousin, but with bread crumbs on top?

This is a twist on Shepard's pie with sweet potato...Orange is a great pairing with sweet potato as any chef, including Gordon Ramsay would tell you. Consult the book Culinary Artistry and see for yourself. If you would like to stray from a traditional sheperd's pie, try it then comment.

Extremely poor. Who the f*ck puts orange zest in Shepherd's Pie? Only idiots. Straight-up garbage. Gordon Ramsay would tear you a new one over this crap, Taste of Home.

Absolutely terrific when cooking for the elderly. This dish has great flavor, textures and is easy on the dentures

The vinegar adds a great flavor to the pototoes, and it does freeze/thaw well.

I followed the recipe exactly - even added the dijon mustard which my family doesn't usually like, and using half sweet potatoes and half regular. It was fine, but we decided to stick with only white potatoes for our Shepherd's Pie in the future. Since you can't have Two-Potato Shepherd's Pie without using two varieties of potatoes, we won't be having this again.

Why is it called Two potato? My mother used to make it with 3 layers. Starting with sliced potato on the bottom, meat mixture & mashed potato on top. I was hoping this was her Irish Recipe.

Delicious! The flavors are wonderful. Usually have to poor ketchup on my shepherd's pie, but not this one!
