Stuffed Scalloped Potatoes

Rinse and peel the potatoes, cut in half lengthwise and scoop out the flesh, leaving a border in the shell. Place potato shells and flesh in boiling salted water and cook until tender, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat and drain well. Cook ground meat in a saute pan. Drain off fat and set aside. 

Preheat the oven to 180°C (approximately 350°F). Butter a baking dish. 

Dice potato flesh into small cubes. Peel and mince onion, then mix with diced potatoes and thyme. Season with salt and pepper. Fill potato shells with the filling mixture, top each with cooked meat and put into baking dish.
