Cooking steps

1

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9-inch round baking dish with 1 tbsp olive oil.
2

Peel and slice potatoes into 1/8-inch rounds. Boil in salted water over medium heat for 8–10 minutes until just fork-tender, then drain thoroughly.
3

In a large bowl, whisk eggs with salt, black pepper, chopped parsley, and dried oregano until fully combined.
4

Gently fold the cooked potatoes, mozzarella, and half the Parmesan into the egg mixture. Mix carefully to keep slices intact.
5

Layer the mixture into the prepared dish. Press gently, drizzle with remaining olive oil, and top with remaining Parmesan. Bake for 35–40 minutes until golden and crisp on top. Cool 10 minutes before slicing.

Personalized Q&A

Q. What's the key ingredient in this recipe?

The core ingredient is russet potatoes, which define both the dish’s structure and its comforting, hearty texture. The cheese and herbs support but do not replace the potato’s central role.

Q. How do you prevent the Tortino di Patate from becoming mushy?

Make sure to boil the potato slices only until just fork-tender and drain them thoroughly, as excess moisture will result in a mushy texture. Also, avoid overmixing to maintain the integrity of the potato layers.

Q. What baking techniques give Tortino di Patate its golden, crisp top?

Drizzling olive oil over the layered potato mixture and topping with Parmesan before baking at 375°F allows the top to brown beautifully, creating a crisp and appealing crust. Allowing it to cool slightly ensures easier slicing.
