Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, celery, and garlic. Cook until vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the mashed potatoes are golden and the filling is hot and bubbly.
Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley if desired.
