Step 1
Prepare all the necessary ingredients. Peel and rinse the vegetables. If you are making the minced meat yourself, pass the meat through a meat grinder, but today I will use ready-made minced meat.

In another skillet, sauté the ground meat, stirring frequently to keep it crumbly. Add 2 garlic cloves, previously crushed with a knife. Also add paprika, season with salt to taste, and pour in the brandy. Cook over low heat for 5 minutes.

Step 4
Slice the potatoes very thinly (you can use a vegetable peeler). Place all the potato slices into a deep bowl and cover with cold water to remove excess starch. Then drain the water. Grease a baking dish with butter, place a third of the potato slices in an even layer on the bottom of the dish, and lightly salt.
