How to Make African Meat Potatoes Casserole

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add 1 pound of ground veal and 1 medium onion (chopped) and brown the meat, breaking it up with a spoon.
  2. Add 2 cups of water, 2 stalks of celery (chopped), 1 large carrot (chopped), 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper to the pot.
  3. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 60 minutes, or until the veal is tender.
  4. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). While the meat simmers, prepare the potatoes.
  5. Peel and chop 2 pounds of potatoes and 1 medium celery root. Boil them in salted water until tender (about 15-20 minutes).
  6. Drain the potatoes and celery root well. Mash them thoroughly.
  7. Add 4 tablespoons of butter, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, and 4 large egg yolks to the mashed potatoes. Mix well.
  8. In a separate bowl, beat 4 large egg whites until stiff peaks form.
  9. Gently fold the egg whites into the mashed potato mixture.
  10. Pour the cooked meat mixture into a greased 9x13 inch casserole dish.
  11. Spread the potato mixture evenly over the meat.
  12. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
