Where to find ingredients
Find fresh potatoes, eggs, and dairy products at local supermarkets or vegetable markets. For specific ingredients like mozzarella and parmesan, use standard versions available in the cheese aisle. If unavailable, ricotta or mild cheddar can serve as a substitute for mozzarella.
Preparation method
- In a large bowl, mix the mashed potatoes, wheat flour, cornstarch, margarine, grated parmesan cheese, eggs, and baking powder.
- Add the milk little by little, mixing until you reach a homogeneous 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 over 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 brown, about 20 to 25 minutes.
