  3. Sauté the paprika with a spoonful of butter. Add 70 ml of water.

  4. Cover and cook for 5 minutes, then mash.

  5. Heat the olive oil, fry the chopped onion for a few minutes until it turns yellow, then add the minced meat. Simmer until the water pours out of the meat. After that, add the mashed paprika, fresh chopped parsley and garlic.

  6. Stir and simmer for another 5 minutes.

  7. Season with salt, pepper and Vegeta/dry spice.

  14. Add the remaining potatoes, minced meat filling and pour over the béchamel sauce.

  15. Arrange this way until you have used up the material, so that the top layer is just minced meat.
