Where to find ingredients
Potatoes, milk, heavy cream, all-purpose flour, butter, mozzarella cheese, oregano, and salt are commonly available in most supermarkets in the dairy, produce, and pantry aisles. Specialty Latin or Brazilian markets may offer specific varieties of potatoes or cheeses, but standard options are widely suitable. Fresh herbs like oregano can often be found in the produce section, or dried versions in the spice aisle. Online grocery platforms will also have these items readily available.
Preparation method
- Peel the potatoes and slice them into medium-thickness rounds
- Cook the potato slices in the microwave for about 7 minutes on high power, or boil them on the stovetop 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 a smooth consistency is achieved
- 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 ovenproof dish, assemble alternating layers of potato slices and the creamy sauce
- Drizzle each layer of potatoes with a little of the melted butter with oregano
- Finish by covering the entire surface with the shredded 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
