Where to find ingredients
Potatoes, milk, heavy cream, flour, butter, mozzarella cheese, oregano, and salt are widely available in the dairy and produce sections of most supermarkets. Specialty Italian or cheese shops might offer a wider variety of mozzarella, but standard grated mozzarella is suitable for this recipe. If fresh oregano is unavailable, dried oregano can be used.
Preparation method
- Peel the potatoes and cut them into medium-thick slices
- Cook the potato slices in the microwave for about 7 minutes on high power, or boil them on the stove until tender but firm
- Season the cooked potatoes with salt to taste during cooking, if desired
- In a saucepan, melt the butter and add the oregano
- In another bowl, mix the milk, heavy cream, and flour until you get a smooth consistency
- Pour the milk mixture into the saucepan with the butter and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens slightly
- Season the sauce with salt to taste, remembering to adjust if the potatoes were already salted
- In a medium baking dish, layer alternating slices of potato and the creamy sauce
- Drizzle each layer of potato with a little of the melted butter with oregano
- Finish by covering the entire surface with the grated mozzarella cheese
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for approximately 30 to 35 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbly
