Not to boast but i’ve never seen it with water at the bottom like this. Is this perhaps the outcome of layering the top with potato nuggets from the freezer rather than mashed potato?
You could probably defrost them first. It’s hard to overcook tots. You can also defrost frozen hash browns and then squeeze out all the moisture. It’s a handy potato pancake cheat. You’d get a super crispy top, and no water, but you do need to squeeze like it’s a stone.
Shepard’s pie? My mother was obsessed with this. I hate the vegetable water at the bottom

That would make sense. Maybe this is a much better way of doing it then if it allows vegetables moisture to bake out evenly

Pretty close! Swap the mash for tots and the gravy for cream soup.

Yep, cream of mushroom or cream of celery. A staple for the upper Midwestern hotdish.
