Potato Topping

1. Boil the yams and russet potatoes in salted water for 12 to 15 minutes or until fork tender. Strain the potatoes and transfer to a large bowl.

2. Add the butter, milk, sea salt and freshly cracked pepper to the bowl and mash together.

The Meat

1. In a pan, heat the extra virgin olive oil over medium. Add the red onion to the pot and saut for 8 minutes. Add the ground sirloin, parsley, smoked paprika, smoked cayenne, sea salt and freshly cracked pepper to the pan. Mix and saut for 10 minutes.

2. Turn the heat up to medium-high and saut for a few more minutes until some crispy bits develop.

The Creamed Corn

1. Boil the corn in salted water for about 5 minutes. Remove from the water and slice off the corn niblets.

2. Heat the unsalted butter in a pan over medium heat. Add the corn niblets, sea salt, pepper and saut for a few minutes. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a boil. Once it begins to boil, cover the pan and reduce on low heat for about 10 minutes.

3. Transfer the creamed corn to a food processor and pulse.
