Steps:
- Boil potatoes in salted water until tender, about 12 minutes. Drain potatoes and pour them into a bowl. Combine sour cream, egg yolk and cream. Add the cream mixture into potatoes and mash until potatoes are almost smooth.
- While potatoes boil, preheat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add oil to hot pan with beef or lamb. Season meat with salt and pepper. Brown and crumble meat for 3 or 4 minutes. If you are using lamb and the pan is fatty, spoon away some of the drippings. Add chopped carrot and onion to the meat. Cook veggies with meat 5 minutes, stirring frequently. In a second small skillet over medium heat cook butter and flour together 2 minutes. Whisk in broth and Worcestershire sauce. Thicken gravy 1 minute. Add gravy to meat and vegetables. Stir in peas.
- Preheat broiler to high. Fill a small flameproof rectangular casserole with meat and vegetable mixture. Spoon potatoes over meat evenly. Top potatoes with paprika and broil 6 to 8 inches from the heat until potatoes are evenly browned. Top casserole dish with chopped parsley and serve.

UPDATED SHEPHERD'S PIE
I found this recipe in a Kraft Food & Family magazine and adapted it slightly to fit our tastes. I decreased the amount of beef stock and added the W sauce to make it slightly richer and thicker. DBF ate 2/3 of the pan the first time I made this, so it is definitely a hit around here. For faster prep, use leftover mashers. You could probably also use potato flakes, but I don't like those so I haven't tried it that way. DBF likes to eat his pie with HP sauce; I like it the way it is.

UPDATED SHEPHERD'S PIE
I found this recipe in a Kraft What's Cooking magazine. Shepherd's Pie is one of my husband's all-time favourite dishes and I love new ways to make things healthier, so I made a double recipe and brought to a friend's place as she had just had a baby, and everybody loved it - there were no leftovers. Even the young, finicky toddlers gobbled it up.

Tips:
- For a richer flavor, use a combination of ground beef and ground lamb in your shepherd's pie.
- To make sure the shepherd's pie is cooked through, insert a meat thermometer into the center of the filling. It should read at least 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- If you don't have any leftover mashed potatoes, you can easily make some by boiling potatoes until they are tender, then mashing them with butter, milk, and seasonings.
- For a crispy topping, sprinkle some grated Parmesan cheese or bread crumbs over the top of the shepherd's pie before baking.
- Shepherd's pie can be made ahead of time and reheated when you're ready to serve it. Simply cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate it for up to 3 days, or freeze it for up to 3 months.
