Drizzle over a little oil and season the potatoes with salt and black pepper.
Then sprinkle the minced meat directly on top of the potatoes. You can use the minced meat raw, but if you want extra flavor, you can quickly brown it in a frying pan first.
Add the finely chopped onion and garlic over the minced meat so that the flavor spreads throughout the dish.
Season everything with paprika powder and a little dried thyme if you like a more aromatic flavor.
Now it's time for the best part - the cheese. Sprinkle a generous layer of grated cheese over the entire tray so that it covers both the potatoes and the minced meat.
Bake in the oven:
Place the tray in the middle of the oven and let the dish bake for about 25-30 minutes.
In the meantime, the potatoes will become soft, the minced meat will cook and the cheese will melt into a beautiful golden brown and bubbly gratin.
When the cheese has a nice color and the potatoes are soft, the dish is ready to serve.
