Instructions
For mashed potato topping
boil potatoes until a fork can easily slide into it, drain and mash together with cream, sour cream, salt and pepper to taste and egg yolks
Filling
Saute in butter onions, carrots and other raw vegetables in a large cast iron pan. Add in herbs and spices and any frozen or cooked vegetables. If meat is not already cooked, cook first and add to the vegetables.
In a small pan heat the butter until melted and whisk in flour. Slowly add in broth and worcestershire sauce. Add to vegetables and meat and adjust flavors to taste. I sometimes add in some red pepper or cayenne for some spice. Spoon potatoes on top and broil in the oven until golden brown.
