Where to find ingredients
You can find all fresh produce, dairy, and pantry staples like flour and cornstarch at local markets or major supermarkets in your area. Use high-quality mozzarella for the best melt. As a substitute, you may use cheddar if you prefer a sharper profile, or vegetable oil instead of margarine for greasing.
Preparation method
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, flour, cornstarch, margarine, grated Parmesan, eggs, and baking powder.
- Gradually add the milk, mixing until you achieve a smooth, creamy dough. The amount of milk may vary depending on the moisture level of the potatoes.
- Grease a baking dish or oven-proof container with butter or margarine.
- Spread half of the gnocchi mixture over the bottom of the prepared dish.
- Cover the dough base with a layer of tomato sauce.
- Distribute the chopped or sliced ham evenly over the sauce layer.
- Arrange the mozzarella slices or pieces over the ham.
- Repeat the layers: spread the remaining gnocchi mixture, followed by the rest of the tomato sauce, ham, and mozzarella.
- Place in a preheated oven at 180°C and bake for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted and golden brown.
