How to Make Argentinean Meat Pie

1. In a large skillet, brown 1 lb ground beef and 1 medium onion (chopped) over medium-high heat until beef is cooked through and onion is softened.
2. Drain off any excess grease.
3. Stir in 1/2 cup raisins and 1/2 cup pitted Kalamata olives (halved).
4. Beat 1 large egg and stir it into the meat mixture.
5. Set the meat filling aside to cool.
6. In a separate bowl, mash 2 lbs russet potatoes (cooked and peeled). Add milk (start with 1/4 cup) until you reach a smooth, spreadable consistency. Add more milk as needed.
7. Beat a second large egg and stir into the mashed potatoes.
8. Generously butter a 9-inch pie dish. Spread half of the mashed potato mixture evenly over the bottom and up the sides of the pie dish, creating a crust.
9. Pour the cooled meat filling into the potato crust.
10. Top with the remaining mashed potatoes, spreading evenly to seal the filling.
11. Dot the top with 2 tablespoons of butter, cut into small pieces.
12. Sprinkle generously with 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your preferred cheese).
13. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 30-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is heated through.
