Instructions

1.
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).

Peel and wash the potatoes, then boil in salted water for 25-30 minutes. Peel and finely dice the carrots and onions. Brown the ground beef in hot oil until crumbly. Add the vegetables and cook briefly. Stir in the tomato paste. Pour in the broth and season with salt and pepper.

Drain the potatoes, let them dry, then mash. Mix in the hot milk and season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Grease four baking dishes.
