What do you typically use for toppings in your shepherd's pie?

Calling all my home cook peeps! I'm curious about your shepherd's pie topping game! Do you go traditional with mashed potatoes, or do you have a creative twist up your sleeve? I'm looking for the best idea to top off my shepherd's pie! Thank you guys!

From my experience, spreading a thin layer of butter over the mashed potatoes before baking can create a crispy and flavorful crust . Though, it's a small step, it makes a big difference in texture.

I top it with creamy mashed potatoes and sprinkle with grated cheese for that extra yum!
