Steps

To prepare the rustic with potatoes and speck, start by washing, drying, and peeling the potatoes.
Slice them very thinly with the mandoline and
transfer the potatoes to a bowl with water, rinse them a couple of times to remove the starch, and after a few minutes in water, dry them with a clean cloth.
Lay the puff pastry on a baking sheet with its parchment paper and place the slices of speck on the pastry to cover the entire base of the pastry.
At this point, do the same with the slices of smoked provola and
finally cover everything with the potato slices.
Sprinkle the surface of the potatoes with salt and black pepper.
Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and
sprinkle with grated Parmesan.
Add some oregano leaves,
some rosemary
and bake in a preheated fan oven at 356°F for 20 minutes or until the potatoes are nicely gratinated. Let it cool slightly and the rustic with potatoes and speck is ready to be enjoyed.
