Steps to Prepare Potato with Ground Meat and Béchamel:

  1. Boil the potatoes:

    • Place the potatoes in a pot, cover them with water, and bring them to a boil over medium heat until fully cooked.
    • Once done, remove the potatoes from the water and let them cool in a colander.

    • Add mixed spices, black pepper, and salt to the meat. Stir well to combine, then remove from heat.

  3. Assemble the dish:

    • Grease a baking dish (or a Pyrex dish) with a small amount of butter, oil, or ghee.
    • Spread half of the mashed potatoes evenly in the bottom of the dish.
    • Add the cooked ground meat on top of the mashed potatoes, spreading it evenly.
    • Cover the meat with the remaining mashed potatoes to form the top layer.

  4. Add the béchamel sauce:

    • Pour the béchamel sauce over the top layer of mashed potatoes, spreading it to cover the entire surface.

  5. Bake the dish:

    • Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
    • Place the dish in the oven and bake until the top is golden, approximately 25–30 minutes.

  6. Serve:
