Okay Made this for Shavuot and was really excited to try this as a sort of Fisherman’s Pie. The recipe didn’t say anything about flavoring the mashed potatoes, and I think it is really necessary, because it came out somewhat bland and lacking on salt/flavor as a result. I also think the filling could have used more flavor; maybe if the mushrooms and onions had been cooked a little prior to going in the oven (I did use fresh instead of canned, as I usually prefer fresh) and the parsley had been fresh minced rather than dried? Or more herbs/spices? I also wonder if maybe a different cheese would have helped add more flavor.
