Preheat the oven to 190°C/fan170°C/gas 5. Place the potatoes in a large pan of cold water and bring to the boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for about 12 minutes or until tender. Drain, return to the pan to dry for 2 minutes, then mash until smooth. Beat in the butter and egg yolks, then stir in the Parmesan.
Put the bolognese sauce into a baking dish in an even layer, then top with the mash. Sprinkle Parmesan on top and season. Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden on top.
