Ingrediants
- 600 g of potatoes
- Q.b. of salt
- 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil
- 10 g of grated Parmesan cheese
- 10 g of breadcrumbs
- 2 teaspoons of oregano
- 30 g of capers
- 50 g of black olives
- 200 g of mozzarella
- 250 g of tomato puree
- Q.b. of pepper
Materials Needed
- Rectangular pan with dimensions of 20 x 25 cm
- Casserole
- Mandolin
- Colander
- Skimmer
- Colander
Preparation
- Cut the mozzarella into slices and place it on a colander to drain the whey.
- Wash the potatoes thoroughly, removing any residual soil with a brush. Boil plenty of water with a little coarse salt.
- Peel the potatoes with a vegetable peeler, then cut them into thin slices lengthwise. To get regular slices, it is recommended to use a mandolin. Dip the potatoes in cold water as they are cut: in this way, the potatoes do not blacken.
- When the water boils, dip the potato slices and cook them for 3 minutes after boiling. After 3 minutes, drain the potato slices with the help of a skimmer, arranging them in layers on a colander.
The advice OK
To avoid breaking the potato slices, it is recommended to use a slotted spoon (and not to drain the potatoes directly on the sink as if they were pasta), taking care to gently overlap them.- Allow to cool slightly.
- Preheat the oven to 200 ° C (ventilated).
- Grease a rectangular pan (20 x 25 cm) with a little oil, then sprinkle with breadcrumbs.
- Arrange a first layer of potatoes on the base of the pan, overlapping them. Stuff with a layer of tomato sauce, a few cubes of mozzarella, capers, black olives cut into rounds and oregano. Season with salt and pepper.
The right idea
As an alternative to tomato puree, you can use fresh cherry tomatoes cut into small pieces!- Then cover with another layer of potatoes and continue until all the ingredients are used up, alternating potatoes and the pizzaiola filling.
- Finish the last layer with potatoes, sprinkling the surface with grated bread, parmesan cheese and a drop of oil.
- Brown in the oven at 200 ° C for 25-30 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the oven, allow to cool and serve the sliced potato flan.

This pie is really tasty: you can serve it as a single dish or, in smaller doses, it also lends itself to accompanying tasty main courses. The beauty of this potato flan is that you can enrich it with countless other ingredients. Some examples for fish and meat lovers? Try it with smoked salmon or ham!
