What You Need to Prepare Baked Pumpkin with Potatoes
- Mandoline
How to Prepare Gratinated Pumpkin and Potatoes
Clean the pumpkin by removing the skin, seeds, and inner filaments. Peel the potatoes. Use a mandoline to slice the pumpkin and potatoes into very thin slices.
Oil the bottom of a baking dish or pan. Make a layer with the potato slices, slightly overlapping them.
Cover with the pumpkin slices, again slightly overlapping them. Lightly salt.
Cover with slices of scamorza or other soft, melting cheese; classic cheese slices work well too.
Layer more potato slices and pumpkin slices, continuing the preparation in the same way until you have used all the ingredients.
Finish with slices of potatoes and pumpkin. A pinch of salt, a generous sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese, and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
Bake the Pumpkin with Potatoes in a static hot oven at 375°F for 30-35 minutes.
During the first 20 minutes of cooking, cover the pan with aluminum foil, allowing the vegetables to cook well, releasing the water inside without the need to add extra liquids.

Loredana’s Tips
For a richer and tastier dish, you can add slices of speck or cooked ham with the cheese
If there are leftover potatoes and pumpkin, store them in a container in the fridge; you just need to reheat them for a few minutes in the hot oven or microwave
