Method

1
Peel the potatoes and cut them into thin slices.
2
Brown the minced beef in a pan in its own fat. Add the diced onions and let them sweat. Season the mixture with salt.
3
Grease a shallow baking dish and spread a thin layer of potatoes on the bottom, followed by half of the meat and onion mixture.
4
Sprinkle half of the allspice berries on top, then another layer of potatoes. Spread the rest of the meat mixture and allspice, and cover the dish with the remaining potato slices.
5
Whisk the eggs lightly and add the milk and salt. Pour the egg milk into the dish and bake at 200 degrees for about 1 hour, or until the potatoes are cooked through.
6
Press the potato slices down into the milk with a spatula after about 20–30 minutes of baking to keep the top layer of potatoes moist. Serve with beetroot and apple salad.
