Peel and chop the onion. Heat the oil in a pan and fry the onion until golden brown. Stir in the minced meat and brown. Cover the meat and simmer over low heat for 25 to 30 minutes. Pour in the stock. Season with salt and pepper to taste and simmer for a few more minutes. Peel the potatoes and cook in plenty of salted water for 20 to 25 minutes. Drain the potatoes and mash them with the milk and half the butter. Season with salt and pepper to taste and fold in the grated cheese. Preheat the oven to 190°C. Trim and wash the spring onions and cut them into small rings. Transfer the meat mixture to a baking dish, sprinkle with the spring onions and spread the mashed potatoes on top. Spread evenly and decorate with a fork in a checkerboard pattern. Melt the remaining butter in a pan and spread it over the mashed potatoes. Bake the pie on the middle rack of the oven for about 20 minutes, until the top is golden brown and crispy.
