Where to find ingredients
Find fresh potatoes and produce in local markets or grocery sections. All-purpose flour, cornstarch, margarine, and baking powder are found in the pantry staples aisle of supermarkets. Ham and mozzarella cheese should be sourced from the deli or refrigerated dairy sections.
Preparation method
- In a large bowl, mix the mashed potatoes, all-purpose flour, cornstarch, margarine, grated Parmesan, eggs, and baking powder.
- Gradually add the milk, mixing until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency; the amount of milk may vary depending on the moisture level of the potatoes.
- Grease a baking dish or casserole with butter or margarine.
- Spread half of the gnocchi batter across the bottom of the prepared dish.
- Cover the batter with a layer of tomato sauce.
- Distribute the chopped or sliced ham over the sauce layer.
- Arrange the mozzarella slices or pieces on top of the ham.
- Repeat the layers: spread the remaining batter, followed by more tomato sauce, the rest of the ham, and the remaining 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.
