I've had loose potato pie in there, served with no crust, because they'd 'run out'.
Therefore it wasn't loose spud pie at all, but a plate full of stew.
Loose potato pie is cooked with a pastry lid, which is then cut up and served with the filling, therefore it's a pie.
Fish, cottage, shepherd's pies are all cooked with lids, which happen to be mashed potato rather than a pastry.
A pie is anything cooked, or baked, with an edible lid.
