This was my first venture into posting recipes, and it is A Mess. But… I still think this was pretty delicious! It's very much a “throw a bunch of shit I find in the kitchen together and see what happens” recipe though.

Mashed Potato Crust:

4-6 Yukon Gold Potato

Spices: I used Tandoori, Garlic Salt, Balti, Berbere, Sweet Curry and Chili Powder.

Lemon Greek Yogurt - 1 1/2 Tbsp

2 tbsp half/half

1/2 stick butter

2 squirts of Chili Garlic Cholula

Fresh basil, cut up into lil pieces

For the rest:

1 cup carrots, diced

1 cup peas

alfredo sauce - whatever your desired amount is

More of aforementioned spices (I only used tandoori and berbere in the filling)

Shredded mexican blend cheese

I first began by nearly setting the house on fire. Then I cut and boiled my potatoes. I didn't peel them because I am an idiot. Anyway. I then mashed them, adding the spices at first (the amount you add is really up to your soul but I went heavy on the garlic salt because I had no fresh garlic, and heavy on the tandoori and berbere as well because I love spice. I was more reserved with the balti, chili powder and sweet curry.)

I then added my butter and my half and half and got to mashing. I used some lemon greek yogurt to add a slight tang, citrusy sweet flavor, but regular lemon juice can also be used. I cut up fresh basil into very fine pieces. I mixed in a few shakes of chili garlic sauce. Then I spread this mixture over the bottom of a dish and set it aside.

I boiled my peas and carrots and then cut them all up, putting it into a batch of alfredo sauce seasoned with generous amounts of Tandoori and Berbere. How much alfredo sauce did I use? I don't know! Probably at least 75% of a jar. Does that mean anything to you? It doesn't to me. I don't do numbers. Amount of alfredo sauce is another thing to let your heart guide you on, buddy. Sorry.

Anyway I then poured this mixture over the potatoes and topped it with the rest of the potatoes, spooning it carefully over the top to create a sort of crust. Bake for about 17 min at 350.
