Ingredients required:
* 1.2 kg potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
* 500 g ground beef
* 2 medium onions, sliced
* 3 crushed garlic cloves
* 30 cl double cream
* 20 cl milk
* 150 g grated cheese (Gruyère or Comté)
* 2 tablespoons olive oil
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
* 1 teaspoon dried or fresh thyme
* 1 pinch nutmeg
Start by preparing the meat filling. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and sauté the onions until translucent. Add the crushed garlic and cook for another minute to release the flavors. Stir in the ground beef, breaking it up with a wooden spoon to avoid large lumps. Season with salt, pepper, and thyme, then cook until the meat is evenly browned. Remove from heat and set aside.
