Directions

1
Clean the mushrooms and possibly halve them. Peel and finely chop the onions. Pour tuna into a sieve, drain well and then pluck roughly. Stir sour cream, starch and milk until smooth.
2
Finely grate the cheese.
3
Heat the oil in a large frying pan and fry the mushrooms thoroughly, turning them over. Add onions and fry briefly. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in sour cream mixture, bring to the boil and simmer for about 2 minutes.
4
Add peas and about half of the cheese, bring to the boil briefly, season again with salt and pepper. Remove from the stove.
5
Peel and wash the potatoes and cut them into slices of about 1 cm thickness. Mix the potatoes and tuna with the sauce. Put them into an ovenproof casserole dish. In a preheated oven (electric cooker: 175 °C/ convection oven: 150 °C/ gas: see

manufacturer) bake for about 1 1/4 hours.

Meanwhile, wash the thyme, shake dry and pluck the leaves from the stalks. Crumble the chips coarsely. Mix the remaining cheese, chips and thyme. About 15 minutes before the end of the baking time, spread the chip mixture evenly on the casserole.

Spread the fat in flakes on top and bake until done. Remove from the oven and garnish with thyme if desired.
