MOZZARELLA POTATO PIE RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Number Of Ingredients 10
Steps:
- Peel and boil the potatoes in salted water for 25 minutes, until completely tender. Drain the potatoes and mash them. Add 1 oz of butter and 1/4 cup warm milk and mash until the potatoes are staying thick and firm. Season with pepper and salt to taste. I always add a pinch of nutmeg to my mashed potatoes; it's a Dutch thing. Spread the mashed potatoes in a pie plate or oven safe dish. Thinly slice the mozzarella and the peeled tomatoes. Place half the mozzarella on top of the mashed potatoes. Put the tomato slices on top of the mozzarella. Sprinkle the dried basil and oregano all over the tomatoes and cover the tomatoes with the remaining mozzarella. Top the casserole with the grated Parmesan cheese. The reason I kept my mashed potatoes firm is that during the cooking process the tomatoes as well as the mozzarella will release liquid that seeps into the mashed potatoes and adds flavor. If your potatoes are real fluffy to begin with, it might end up as something you can drink through a straw. Place the casserole or pie into a preheated oven and bake at 400F˚ (200C˚) for 25 to 30 minutes or until the cheese has turned a golden brown on top.

MASHED POTATO PIE
I don't know where this recipe originated, but it has been an old stand by on my mom's dinner party tables for years. It actually bakes up to look quite impressive. Please don't try to substitute fresh mashed potatoes (believe me I have tried) the instant box stuff provides the perfect texture.

Tips:
- Choose good quality potatoes: Use firm, waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or Red potatoes. Avoid starchy potatoes like Russet potatoes, as they tend to become too soft and mushy when baked.
- Slice the potatoes thinly: This will help them cook evenly and quickly. Aim for slices that are about 1/8-inch thick.
- Parboil the potatoes: This step is optional, but it helps to reduce the cooking time of the potatoes and ensure that they are cooked through. To parboil the potatoes, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add the potato slices. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the potatoes are just tender. Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly.
- Use a good quality mozzarella cheese: Fresh mozzarella cheese is best, but you can also use shredded mozzarella cheese if you prefer. Avoid using pre-shredded mozzarella cheese, as it is often coated with cellulose, which can prevent it from melting properly.
- Season the filling: Don't forget to season the filling with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. You can also add other herbs and spices to your liking, such as Italian seasoning, thyme, or rosemary.
- Don't overcrowd the pie: Make sure that there is enough space between the potato slices so that they can cook evenly. If the pie is too crowded, the potatoes will steam instead of bake and they will not be as crispy.
- Bake the pie until golden brown: The pie is done baking when the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. This usually takes about 30-35 minutes.
