Overall a great recipe. Will definitely make this again! My one issue was that I found the lemon to be overpowering - it became the dominant flavour. I understand the reasoning to include it, but next time I will cut the amount of zest and juice by half. Two large sweet potatoes will be more than enough for anyone wondering.
To red121271: He clearly says in the video this is not exactly "traditional" Shepherds Pie. He also explains why he chooses water instead of stock, but says either will work. Did you watch the video before posting your review? Also, you're complaining about corn in a recipe that doesn't include corn...kind of bizarre. There's no evidence of corn anywhere in the pic. Perhaps the colour is off on your monitor??
Really excellent recipe. Followed the instructions exactly, including Chef John's pizza sauce and it turned out perfectly. I didn't think my cast iron pan would be deep enough so I ended up using a 10" non-stick springform pan which worked great. Because the pan was a bit smaller, there was quite a bit of extra dough, but I just rolled it up and baked it like a small loaf of bread. Also didn't need to double the pizza sauce recipe. Will definitely be making this again and again.EDIT: forgot I did make one alteration - I cooked the sausage somewhat beforehand to extract some of the grease.
