Instructions
- Boil and peel the potatoes (leave them 90% cooked so they don't turn to purée during the later baking). Cut them into even cubes.
- Meanwhile, heat 30 ml olive oil in a pan and sauté the finely chopped onion, garlic and carrot. Once softened, add the minced meat and, when browned, pour in the wine. Let it reduce.
- Add the peeled tomatoes and stew again, then add the tomato sauce and stir.
- Sprinkle with fresh basil.
- Season with salt and pepper and cook the Bolognese sauce, covered, for about 30 min.
- Transfer the potatoes to a baking dish greased with a little olive oil and add the sauce on top.
- Cover the dish with mozzarella (grated or sliced) and bake for about ten minutes in an oven preheated to 220°C, until the cheese melts.
- Meanwhile, in a bowl place the sour cream and the finely chopped herbs — dill, parsley and wild onion. Stir well.
- Season with salt, pepper and a little olive oil and serve the sauce alongside the potatoes.
