To make the potato topping: Boil the yams and
russet potatoes in salted water until fork tender, about 15 minutes.
Strain the potatoes and transfer to a large bowl. Add the butter,
milk, sea salt, freshly ground black pepper and
mash together.
To make the meat: In a pan, heat the
extra-virgin olive oil over medium heat. Add the red
onion and saute for 8 minutes. Add the ground sirloin,
parsley, smoked paprika, smoked cayenne, sea salt, and freshly ground pepper to the pan. Mix and saute for 10 minutes. Turn the heat up to medium-high and saute for a few more minutes, until some crispy bits develop.
To make the creamed corn: Boil the corn in salted water for about 5 minutes. Remove from the water and slice off the corn niblets. Heat the unsalted butter in a pan over medium heat. Add the corn niblets,
sea salt, pepper, and saute 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. Transfer the creamed corn to a
food processor, add a handful of minced
chives and
pulse.
Evenly distribute the crisped
beef into the bottom of a
baking dish. Cover it with a layer of creamed corn. Top the
pie off with the yam and russet mash. Sprinkle with a handful of crumbled
potato chips and pinch of smoked paprika.
Broil for a few minutes, until edges are golden and crispy.
