100 g mayonnaise
25 g butter
2 cloves garlic

Steps

Cook and peel potatoes. Allow to cool, then mash.
In a bowl combine the chicken, mayonnaise, onion, salt, and pepper.
Line a deep dish with plastic wrap, or place a molding cylinder on a plate.
Add the mashed potatoes to form a bed about 1 cm tall at the bottom.
Add a second layer of 1 cm of the chicken mixture evenly over the potato.
Top the chicken mixture with a final layer of potato, forming a sandwich of chicken inside two layers of potato.
Unmold or remove the cylinder.
