Total time 1 hour Preparation time 30 minutes
INGREDIENTS
2 Kg of Potatoes
400 grams Minced Meat
3 medium Onions (chopped to small pieces)
1 tsp Salt for Potatoes
1 tsp Salt for Minced Meat
1 tsp Seven Spices for Minced Meat
1 tsp Cinnamon for Minced Meat
100 grams Pine Nuts
6 tablespoons Canola Oil
Bread crumbs (as much as needed)
Butter
METHOD
Wash potatoes with their skin.
Boil potatoes in a big casserole covered with water and a bit of salt. Cook potatoes for around 20 minutes or until soft.
Peel and mash with a potato masher.
Knead mashed potatoes by hand with 1 tsp salt, taste, and add more salt if necessary.
Heat oil; fry the pine nuts on very low heat until they are light gold. (Be careful, as pine nuts fry very quickly). Add the onions, cook until golden brown. Add minced meat and cook them well while adding salt and spices. (You may add more or fewer spices depending on your taste).
Prepare a baking pan by coating it with butter, then sprinkle with bread crumbs all over. (Be generous with the bread crumbs as they will make the pie tastes crispy)
Preheat oven to 200.
Divide the mashed potato in half. Spread the mashed potatoes in layers over bread crumbs, and then add the cooked meat filling while spreading it evenly on top. Then add the second layer of potato. Mix the remained bread crumbs with 4 or more tablespoons of melted butter, depending on how crispy you like the topping of the pie; spread the mix on the surface.
Cook in a hot oven at degree 200 for around 20 to 30 minutes.
Serve hot with a green salad.
