Instructions

1. Prepare the Potatoes

• Peel and cube the potatoes.
• Boil them in salted water until fork tender (about 15-20 minutes).
• Drain well and let cool slightly.

2. Mash the Potatoes

• In a large bowl, add the cooked potatoes and butter.
• Mash until smooth and creamy. Stir in chopped dill, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and oregano.
• Taste and adjust seasoning. Set aside.

3. Cook the Beef Filling

• Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned.
• Add diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion becomes soft and translucent.

4. Add the Vegetables

• Stir in red bell pepper and diced tomato. Let it cook for 5 minutes until softened.

5. Add Tomato Paste and Parsley

• Add tomato paste and mix well. Cook until everything is evenly combined.
• Turn off the heat and stir in the chopped parsley.

6. Form the Potato Nests

• Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Using a spoon, shape the mashed potatoes into round nests, pressing down the centers to form wells.

7. Fill and Bake

• Spoon the beef mixture into each potato nest.
• Top each one with shredded mozzarella cheese.
• Bake for 15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.

8. Optional Crispy Finish

• For crispier tops, turn on the broiler for 2-3 minutes at the end of baking.
