Potatoes:

Boil potatoes in salted water with a bit of olive oil for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until tender. Drain and pour into a large bowl.

Combine sour cream, yolk, and cream. Add mixture to potatoes and mash until mostly smooth.

Filling:

While potatoes are boiling, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil to the hot pan with meat. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Brown and crumble meat. Drain fat.

While meat browns, sauté onion in a pan with butter and oil. When onion is tender, sprinkle brown sugar and a bit of red wine vinegar into the pan. One caramelized, add onion to the meat.

Add carrot to the meat and cook 5 minutes, stirring frequently.

In a second skillet, heat butter and flour for 2 minutes over medium heat. Whisk in broth and Worcestershire sauce. Thicken gravy for 1 minute.

Add gravy to meat and veggies. Stir in peas.

to Assemble:

Preheat broiler to high. Fill a small rectangular casserole dish with meat and veggie mix. Spoon potatoes over meat evenly. Sprinkle paprika on top of the potatoes.

Broil 6 to 8 inches from heat until evenly browned. Serve.
