Recipe Makes: 8
Approximate Cost: $1.37
Equipment
- 9x9 baking dish
Ingredients
- 3 pounds potatoes (peeled and sliced lengthwise about 1/8 inch thick)
- ⅓ cup grated parmesan cheese
- 8 slices ham
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 egg
- ½ cup ricotta (or cottage cheese)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp salt (plus more for potatoes)
- ¼ tsp black pepper (plus more for potatoes)
- ½ cup bacon cooked and crumbled
- fresh parsley (chopped, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350. Spray 9x9 baking dish with nonstick spray.
- Make ricotta mixture. Combine ricotta, egg, garlic powder, salt and pepper, parmesan, and 1 cup mozzarella (reserve other cup for topping). Stir to combine well, set aside.
- Slice the peeled potatoes into ¼ inch (½ cm) slices. Season the potatoes with salt and pepper, tossing them to make sure they’re coated evenly.
- Press a layer of potatoes evenly into the bottom of a greased, square baking pan. Place half of the ham slices evenly on top of the potatoes, 1/3 of the bacon, followed by 1/3 the cream-ricotta mixture.
- Follow with another layer of potatoes, then the remaining ham, 1/3 of the bacon, and 1/3 of the cream-ricotta mixture.
- Place your final layer of potatoes on top, followed by the last 3rd bacon and last 1/3 cream-ricotta mixture. Sprinkle with remaining 1 cup shredded mozzarella. Press it into an even layer.
- Bake for about 40-50 minutes, until the cheese is a deep golden brown. If top browns too quickly, cover with foil for remaining cook time.
- Cool about 15-20m before slicing. Top with fresh chopped parsley, if liked.
