Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a skillet, heat the vegetable oil and sauté the chopped onion until translucent. Add the garlic and cook for another minute.
Add the ground meat, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon. Remove from heat and set aside.
Peel and thinly slice the potatoes. Lightly season them with salt and pepper.
Grease a baking dish. Layer half of the potatoes on the bottom, then spread the meat mixture evenly, and top with the remaining potatoes.
In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and flour (if using). Pour the mixture over the layered potatoes and meat.
Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and potatoes are cooked through.
Let it rest for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

For a richer flavor, you can use a mix of ground beef and pork.
Use a mandoline slicer for even potato slices.
You can add a bit of cheese on top for a twist.
