Preparation

Peel the potatoes, cut into chunks and boil for 20 minutes in salted water, until a knife slides in easily.
Drain well, then mash with the hot milk and butter until smooth; season with salt and pepper.
Preheat the oven to 200 °C (400 °F).
Fry the sliced onion in a pan with a little fat until translucent, then add the ground beef and brown for 5 to 8 minutes, breaking it up with a spatula; season with salt and pepper.
Spread the meat over the bottom of a baking dish, cover with the smooth mash, running a fork over the top (the ridges help it brown), and scatter with grated cheese.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until golden and bubbling on top. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
