Boil potatoes for 30 minutes with a little salt in the water.

Heat olive oil in a pan and sauté chopped onions and green bell peppers.

Add ground beef to the pan, separating it into small pieces as it cooks.

Once the beef starts turning brown, add Italian seasoning, southern blend seasoning, garlic salt, and paprika.

Stir the mixture to combine the seasonings with the meat and cook for about 10 minutes.

Add tomato sauce to the beef mixture and stir again, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 to 7 minutes.

Mash the boiled potatoes until they have a good consistency.

Drizzle olive oil at the bottom of a baking pan and spread the mashed potatoes evenly.

Layer the ground beef mixture over the mashed potatoes, followed by a layer of cheese.

Repeat the process by adding another layer of mashed potatoes, ground beef, and cheese.

Slice uncooked potatoes into very thin layers and place them on top of the last layer.

Add cheese on top of the thin potato layer, cover with aluminum foil, and bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes.
