Directions

1
Peel, wash and quarter the potatoes. Cook in boiling salted water for about 20 minutes. Meanwhile wash the meat, dab dry and cut into cubes. Heat the oil in a pan and fry the meat in portions on medium heat for 8-10 minutes.
2
In the meantime clean, wash and cut the leek into pieces. Cut the cucumbers into slices. Wash, clean and halve the mushrooms. Remove meat from the pan. Add leek and mushrooms to the frying fat and fry over medium heat for 2-3 minutes.
3
Add the cucumbers and fry briefly. Season with salt and pepper. Deglaze with broth and let braise for about 5 minutes. Stir starch and some cold water until smooth. Add to the vegetable pan, stir in and bring to the boil again.
4
Add meat. Heat the milk in a saucepan. Drain and mash potatoes. Gradually add milk and 30 g fat and stir in. Season with salt and nutmeg. Put 2/3 of the mashed potatoes into a greased casserole dish (20x28 cm) and smooth it down.
5
Spread the vegetable-meat mixture on top and cover with the remaining puree. Spread the remaining fat as flakes on top and bake in a preheated oven (electric: 200 °C/ gas: level 3) for approx. 25 minutes.
