The story behind
This potato pie is the epitome of soul-comforting home cooking. I love the combination of textures: the well-seasoned beef base with bits of hard-boiled egg and that top layer of mashed potatoes that, when baked with cheese, creates an irresistible golden crust as seen in the photo. It's a dish that is always served generously, revealing its layers when plated on white china, ready to be enjoyed in a cozy family meal.
Instructions
-
1Prepare a smooth mashed potato by mixing cooked potatoes with butter and milk. Season to taste.
-
2Cook the ground beef with your favorite spices until browned. Mix in the hard-boiled egg bits.
-
3In an oven-safe dish, place a base layer of the meat and egg mixture.
-
4Cover the meat with a generous and even layer of mashed potatoes.
-
5Spread the cheese over the potatoes and bake at 200°C until the cheese is completely melted and starts to brown.
-
6Serve a hearty portion on a plate, allowing the layers of meat and gratinated mash to be visible.
-
7Let it rest for a few minutes before serving so the layers hold firm when cutting.
