Two-Potato Shepherd's Pie image

Shepherd's pie has another name, cottage pie, and mashed potatoes have another alternative - sweet potatoes. Whatever you call it, there's enough in the recipe to bake one casserole and freeze the other for up to three months. Did we mention Cumberland pie is a cousin, but with bread crumbs on top? -Marcie Brooks-Smith, Fort Collins, Colorado

3 russet potatoes
Kosher salt and black pepper
4 spring onions or 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, smashed and roughly chopped
3 pounds 80/20 ground beef
