Ingredients

3 medium Potatoes (about 600g)
45 g Butter (3 tbsp)
4 cloves Garlic
300 g Minced Meat
100 g Mozzarella Cheese (1 cup grated)
15 ml Olive Oil (1 tbsp)
1 tsp Paprika
1 tsp Salt
0.5 tsp Black Pepper

Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Wash and dice the potatoes into small, bite-sized cubes.
2
Melt the butter, then mix it with the minced garlic, olive oil, half of the salt, and half of the black pepper. Toss this mixture over the diced potatoes until they are evenly coated.
3
Spread the coated potatoes in an even layer in a baking dish and roast in the oven for 30 minutes, or until golden and crispy, tossing them halfway through.
4
While the potatoes roast, cook the minced meat in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season it with the paprika, remaining salt, and remaining black pepper, breaking it apart until fully browned.
5
Once the potatoes are tender and crispy, remove them from the oven. Spoon the cooked minced meat evenly over the top, then generously sprinkle with the mozzarella cheese.
6
Return the dish to the oven for 5 to 7 minutes until the mozzarella cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve immediately!

Chef's Tips

•Cut the potatoes into uniform, small pieces so they cook evenly and get maximum crispy edges.
•If you want a bit of heat, sprinkle some of your chili flakes over the meat before adding the cheese.
•Broil for the last 2 minutes if you like your cheese slightly browned and crispy.
