Peel the potatoes or wash and boil them directly, then peel afterwards.

Cut the potatoes into even-sized chunks, ensuring they are similar in shape.

Boil the potatoes in salted water until tender.

Prepare the apples by peeling or slicing them into quarters, then cut into chunks for apple mousse.

In a pan, melt some butter and add the apple chunks, sugar, and cinnamon, mixing evenly.

Lower the heat and add a bit of water and salt to the apples, allowing them to simmer until done.

In another pan, heat olive oil and stir-fry chopped onion until coated with oil.

Add ground pork (or a mix of ground pork and beef) to the pan with the onion, along with bay leaf and thyme, seasoning with salt and ground pepper.

Once the potatoes are tender, mash them with a bit of milk, butter, and a pinch of salt, adding nutmeg for flavor.

Layer the dish starting with the ground meat, followed by the apple mousse, and then the mashed potatoes on top.

Optionally, add more water on top before placing in the oven to create a crust.

Bake in the oven for about 10 to 20 minutes until heated through and crust forms.

Finish with a sprinkle of nutmeg and garnish with julienned green onions.
