1 onion, cut into slices
5 medium potatoes, cut into large chunks
2 tablespoons (30 g) tomato paste
3/4 cup (180 ml) hot milk
1 1/2 tablespoons (25 g) butter
1/4 cup (25 g) shredded Parmesan cheese
Olive oil, as needed
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
DIRECTIONS
Step 1: Prepare the Potatoes
Cut the potatoes into large chunks and place them in a pot of salted water.
Cook the potatoes until tender, about 15 to 20 minutes.
Drain the potatoes and transfer them to a mixing bowl.
Add 1 1/2 tablespoons of butter, salt, and black pepper to taste. Mash the potatoes until smooth.
Gradually add 3/4 cup of hot milk while mashing until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Step 2: Prepare the Tuna Mixture
Heat some olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.
Add the sliced onion and sauté until browned.
Add the two cans of tuna and 2 tablespoons of tomato paste mixed with one ladle of potato broth.
Mix well and cook for two to three minutes on low heat.
Step 3: Assemble the Casserole
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Add half of the mashed potatoes to the bottom of a casserole dish and spread it out evenly.
Layer half of the tuna mixture over the mashed potatoes.
Add the remaining mashed potatoes over the tuna, followed by the remaining tuna mixture.
Top with 1/4 cup of shredded Parmesan cheese.
Step 4: Bake the Casserole
Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven.
Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
