1/2 chopped onion

For just plain old Mousaka, remove the potatoes, however it
is normally served with them. Boil the potatoes and stop half
way. Peel them and let aside. Fry the onion in the oil till
brown, add the minced meat, wait 10 minutes while stirring,
and add the wine, tomatoe, parsley, salt, pepper and about a
tablespoon of sugar, and then add 1/2 cup of water. When the
water is absorbed, remove from heat, and add the grated cheese
and the egg yolks (keeping the egg whites for the topping. In
a saucepan bring three cups of milk to boil, mix the flour with
the remaining cup and pour stirring constantly, making a thick
paste - if too thick, add milk, if too thin, add some more flour.
Remove from heat, and add the egg yolks, egg whites and the
nutmeg. Butter a baking pan, and put the sliced potatoes in
it. Cover with the meat mixture and then cover with the contents
of the saucepan. When the topping turns brown, serve cool.
