To prepare it, you will need to make a choice of filling, since the rest of the process is pretty standard.
Let's start with the recipe for “ Mashed potatoes with minced meat”. The tubers need to be washed very well, thoroughly cleaned and boiled as usual.

The remaining steps will be absolutely identical, regardless of the type of meat. But the best option is to use a meat mixture. The choice is up to the hostess.
Grind the meat several times in the combine with the addition of onions. Now add a little oil to the deep saucepan and put the mixture to fry for about twenty minutes. After the liquid is released from it, close the lid and leave for some time to bring the meat to full readiness. At this point, you will definitely need to add a little salt and pepper. Nevertheless, everyone can choose the other seasonings for themselves, as this is a matter of taste.
Now you can proceed to the stage of formation and baking of the dish.
You need to take a suitable form and prepare it, greasing a little oil. Now a layer of half the potatoes is carefully laid out at the bottom and leveled, then the whole stuffing. Now we send the remaining mashed potatoes into the mold and carefully cover the entire surface. The time has come to make the finishing touches - spread out the coarsely grated cheese and pour over with beaten eggs. In no case do not add water or the broth, otherwise you will get mashed potatoes. In the oven, the form must be placed on medium heat for a maximum of half an hour.

A casserole of potatoes with minced meat is very pleasant and unusual in taste, when raw tubers are taken as "raw material". In this case, you need to clean and chop them as if you were going to fry them. Any mincemeat is suitable for such a recipe, but chicken will be the most delicious.
