Where to find ingredients
You can find all ingredients at local supermarkets or grocery stores. For authentic items, look for traditional Brazilian-style ham and mozzarella in the deli section. As a substitute, any mild semi-hard cheese can replace mozzarella, and standard butter can be used instead of margarine.
Preparation method
- In a large bowl, mix the mashed potatoes, wheat flour, cornstarch, margarine, grated Parmesan cheese, eggs, and baking powder.
- Add the milk gradually, mixing until you obtain a smooth and creamy dough; the amount of milk may vary depending on the moisture of the potatoes.
- Grease a baking dish with butter or margarine.
- Spread half of the gnocchi dough on the bottom of the prepared dish.
- Cover the dough with a layer of tomato sauce.
- Distribute the chopped or sliced ham over the sauce.
- Place the slices or pieces of mozzarella on top of the ham.
- Repeat the layers: spread the rest of the gnocchi dough, followed by more tomato sauce, ham, and mozzarella.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C until the cheese is completely melted and golden, about 20 to 25 minutes.
