Method

Boil the Mishima potatoes with their skins on in water for about 20 minutes, then remove them from the water and peel them while still hot.

Make ❶ into a smooth paste using a strainer, combine the fresh cream and butter in a pot over low heat, and adjust the taste with salt.

Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan, add garlic and onion (both finely chopped) and fry over low heat.

When the onion becomes translucent, add carrots, celery (both chopped), thyme, bay leaves, and minced meat in that order and stir-fry.

Once the meat is cooked, add the boiled tomatoes (mash them by hand and strain through a strainer beforehand) and simmer for about 10 minutes.

Pour ❷ into a heat-resistant container up to about 7 minutes, then pour ❺ on top of it.

Sprinkle breadcrumbs, grated cheese, and olive oil on ❻ and bake in an oven (or toaster) heated to 200°C for about 10 minutes and it's ready!
