Where to find ingredients
Potatoes, milk, heavy cream, all-purpose flour, butter, mozzarella cheese, oregano, and salt are commonly found in the dairy and produce sections of most supermarkets. Specialty Latin or Brazilian markets may offer a wider variety of potato types. Fresh markets are also a good source for potatoes.
Preparation method
- Peel the potatoes and slice them into medium-thick rounds
- Cook the potato slices in the microwave for about 7 minutes on high power, or boil them on the stovetop in salted water 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, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, and flour until smooth
- 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 baking dish, layer alternating slices of potato and the creamy sauce
- Spoon some of the melted butter with oregano over each layer of potatoes
- 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
