Greensbury Ambassador Hayley Lucero (@realfoodwithaltitude) says this recipe is one of her all-time favorites. Whole30 compatible and Paleo friendly, this cozy classic will have you coming back for more. Hayley likes to mix white sweet potatoes with regular potatoes to give the top layer an extra pop of flavor and natural sweetness. While Hayley likes to use ground chicken, ground beef works perfectly here too!

Directions

Heat your cast iron pan to medium heat. Add olive oil (or your favorite oil) and ground chicken. Brown the chicken until it is mostly cooked through.
To the same pan, add all the veggies under "Filling"- be sure all veggies are chopped to the same size so they cook at the same time.
In the meantime, boil a pot of water. Peel and roughly chop your sweet potatoes. Add potatoes to the boiling water and salt liberally.
When veggies are fork tender, add the tomato paste, chicken broth and rest of the seasonings under "Filling". Simmer until the chicken broth is mostly absorbed and sauce is thick. If it does not thicken, add a small amount more of the tomato paste.
When your sweet potatoes are tender, drain and put in a mixing bowl with the rest of the "Mashed Potato" ingredients. Mix until smooth. Note- I do this in my Kitchen Aid mixer, but a hand mixer or potato masher will work
When mashed potatoes are smooth, spread on top of the filling. Put the pan in the oven on 400 degrees uncovered for 20 minutes.
If the top is not browned, turn your oven on broil for another 5 minutes or until the potatoes are lightly browned on top.

Recipe Note

I use ground chicken, but as always you can use any ground meat you like best or have on hand.
I love cooking it in a large cast-iron pan, but you can always make smaller portions in individual pans.
If you can’t find white sweet potatoes, regular sweet potatoes or russet potatoes will work just fine.
