Ingredients:

7 potatoes
200g meat, finely chopped
1 large onion
1 egg
100ml milk
salt, to taste
vegetable oil

Method:

Add a little oil to a pan and use to fry the meat until well browned but not cooked through (about 12 minutes). Add the onion then season with salt. Continue frying for about 12 more minutes, or until the onion is golden brown.

Grate the potatoes then place in a clean tea towel and wring out the excess moisture. Transfer to a bowl and beat in the milk and egg. Season with salt to taste. Grease an oven-proof casserole dish with vegetable oil then spoon the meat and onion mix into the base then pour the potato mix over the top.

Transfer to an oven pre-heated to 180°C and bake for about 30 minutes, or until the top is a nice golden brown in colour. Serve hot with sour cream.
