One of my favorite home cooked meals is the potato moussaka, also named a cottage pie. Every time my mom makes this special type of food, I eat it with such craving, that I can always  guarantee that in maximum 2 days, the pot will be empty. Sometimes I even eat 1 or 2 portions of the delicious moussaka for breakfast, lunch and dinner! Maybe it’s not the healthiest habbit in the world, but the truth is I can’t help myself!

Too cook a tasy potato moussaka, you need the following ingredients:

-         2 kg potatoes

-         300 g mince

-         2 medium sized onions

-         Cooking oil

-         Salt and pepper

-         A little tomato juice

-         Optional, one egg and a bit of chopped parsley

To start with, you make the dressing as follows: you peal the two onions, wash

them, chop them and simmer them in a pan with three spoons of cooking oil and a little water. After it’s simmered, you add the mince, salt, pepper, and tomato juice, while stirring everything until the meat starts to get that brownish color hinting that it’s done. Depending on your preferences, you may add a little chopped parsley to the composition, for taste and color.

The potatoes are pealed, washed and cut in slices. Then, on the bottom of the pan that you are going to use you out some cooking oil and the first layer of potatoes, followed by a layer of  mince mixture and you alternate between the potatoes and the composition. The top layer should be made of potatoes, over which you can add a scrambled egg.

The pan with a lid on or some aluminium foil on top is inserted in the over for about 45 minutes, but in order to be absolutely sure that it’s properly made, you should try the potatoes with a fork.

After which you take out the pan, serve the hot moussaka eat to your heart’s desire!
