- Spread half of the prepared potato dough evenly across the bottom of the baking dish.
- Spoon a generous layer of tomato sauce over the potato base.
- Distribute the chopped or sliced ham evenly over the sauce layer.
- Layer the mozzarella slices or pieces over the ham.
- Repeat the process with the remaining potato dough, adding another layer of tomato sauce, ham, and mozzarella on top.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for roughly 20 to 25 minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted and lightly golden.
