9. On top of the minced meat, distribute the rest of your potato slices, again in fish scale pattern. Now filter your cream sauce and distribute the sauce all over the dish. Halfway this process, shake the tray so the sauce will evenly cover the whole dish.

10. Add the grated cheese and bake for about 40 minutes in an oven at 180°C.

11. For the last 10 minutes, cover the tray with aluminum foil to avoid the cheese to color too much.
