Where to find ingredients
You can find all these staples at major supermarkets like Coles or Woolworths. Look for starchy potatoes in the produce aisle, and choose a good quality mozzarella from the deli or cheese section for better melting results.
Preparation method
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, plain flour, cornflour, margarine, grated parmesan, eggs, and baking powder.
- Gradually add the milk, mixing until the dough is smooth and creamy. The amount of milk may vary depending on the moisture content of the potatoes.
- Grease a baking dish with butter or margarine.
- Spread half of the gnocchi dough over the bottom of the prepared dish.
- Cover the dough with a layer of tomato sauce.
- Distribute the chopped or sliced ham evenly over the sauce layer.
- Place the mozzarella slices or pieces over the ham.
- Repeat the layers: spread the remaining gnocchi dough, followed by the rest of the tomato sauce, ham, and mozzarella.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and golden brown.
