Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, then add chopped onions and carrots. Cook until softened.

Add minced garlic and ground beef to the skillet, cooking until browned.

Sprinkle Gruyère cheese over the mashed potatoes for a golden crust.

Bake in the preheated oven until the top is golden and bubbly.

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
