Finely chop the onions and mix with minced meat, eggs, parsley, broth and breadcrumbs.

Season the mixture with salt and pepper, form it into a loaf and place it on a deep baking dish.

Cover the loaf with the bacon slices and press the bacon down well.

Bake for 60 minutes. As soon as the roast takes on color (after approx. 20 min), fill the baking dish with hot vegetable stock and finish baking.

Preheat the oven to 320 °F.

Mix melted butter, cream and garlic until combined.

Grease a baking dish with butter.

Thinly slice the potatoes.

Arrange 1/3 of the potato slices in the baking dish. Pour over 1/3 of the cream mixture and sprinkle with 1/3 of the cheese. Scatter salt and pepper.

Repeat step 5. to make two more layers, finishing with a layer of cheese.

Cover with foil and bake in the oven for 1 hr 15 min or until the potato is tender. Remove the foil for the last 15 min so the cheese can turn golden brown.
