Servings: persons

5 cups potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 tablespoons butter, or to taste
salt to taste
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1 onion, diced
2 tomatoes, diced
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 pound ground beef
2 tablespoons shredded panquehue cheese
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley
salt and black pepper to taste
1 pinch cayenne pepper (optional)

1
Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 2-quart baking dish.
2
Place the potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and allow to steam dry for a minute or two. Mash the hot potatoes with butter and salt. Let cool until just warm; stir in the beaten egg until smooth.
3
Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the garlic and onion; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes and tomato paste; continue cooking until the tomatoes soften and begin to lose their shape. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, about 10 minutes. Stir in the panquehue cheese and parsley; season to taste with salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
4
Spread half of the mashed potato mixture into the prepared baking dish. Cover with the ground beef mixture, then spread the remaining mashed potatoes over the beef to completely cover.
5
Bake in the preheated oven until the potatoes are hot and the top is lightly browned, about 40 minutes.
