Clean and peel potatoes. Cut into thin slices and fry in butter. Brown chopped
meat and onions in 3 tb. of butter, stirring to break up the meat. Add tomatoes (or paste w/water), salt, pepper, and parsley. Cover, and simmer until all the liquids have been
absorbed.
Remove from the heat. Add one-third of the cheese and 3 to 4 tbs. bread crumbs;
mix well.
Butter a baking pan; sprinkle with bread crumbs.
Spread half the potatoes into the pan and sprinkle with cheese. Spread the
chopped mat evenly over it. Layer the remaining potatoes on top and sprinkle with more cheese. Cover with bechamel sauce, sprinkle with the rest of the cheese and then with bread
