5. Mash the potatoes into a puree. Add the reserved sautéed vegetables and a little flour for a denser consistency. Prepare a heatproof baking dish. Grease the bottom with vegetable oil, then spread half of the potato puree over it. Smooth it out. Next, evenly distribute the vegetables on top, then cover with the remaining potato puree.
