French potatoes with minced meat in the oven
Everyone knows such a popular dish as French meat. By analogy, you can prepare a variation with potatoes. The dish will turn out juicier and more tender if you use minced meat as a meat ingredient. You can use a ready-made product or make it yourself from a piece of meat. Minced pork and beef are best - moderately fatty, yet juicy and soft.
French-style potatoes with minced meat are laid out in layers, which can be in different versions, that is, all layers, in principle, can be changed, except for cheese, which should always be the final “covering”. You can bake the dish in small portioned molds or in one large heat-resistant form.

- Let the potatoes soak in the mayonnaise for about 10 minutes, then transfer them to the bottom of an ovenproof casserole dish.
- Separate the onion head from the peel, wash it, trim it into feathers or rings. Then place it on a layer of potatoes, spreading it around the entire perimeter of the mold.
- The next layer will be minced meat. Spread it evenly over the onion, season with salt on top, and apply a thin ball of mayonnaise.
- Grate hard cheese on a coarse grater. Sprinkle the resulting shavings generously over the minced meat.
- Cover the pan with foil and place in a preheated oven. The approximate baking time for the dish is 45 minutes at 180 degrees. Based on the different types of potatoes and the degree of their boiliness, the cooking period may vary.
