  8. Add garlic etc to lentils in casserole and combine everything
  9. Let heat up and simmer at low temperature
  10. Grind pepper over lentils if desired
  11. Peal off knobbly parts of potato. I often leave a large amount of skin on because I like it. Choose what you prefer.
  12. Dice potatoes and start boiling salted water in pot

  14. During cooking time you will need to lessen heat so potatoes don't boil over

  19. If using separate frying pan, transfer thickened lentils to casserole. Lentils are the base layer
  20. Top with mashed potatoes
  21. Into oven for 10-15 minutes until mash is a bit browned at peaks
  22. If lentils are a bit liquidy you can use hot-air oven, then please turn down to 200℃
