An irresistible dish that will save your dinner. I present to you the Baked Potatoes alla Pizzaiola, a simple but incredibly tasty recipe.

Boiled potatoes, sliced, are the perfect soft base to welcome the tomato sauce and the melting mozzarella that melts perfectly.

For a tastier touch, I used cooked ham, which added between the layers, makes the dish even more rich and tasty.

Steps for Baked Potatoes alla Pizzaiola

First, boil the potatoes until they are well cooked and soft. Season the tomato passata with oil, salt, oregano or basil (to taste).
Once cooked, let the potatoes cool completely.
Peel the cooled potatoes and cut them into slices about a quarter of an inch thick.
Cut the mozzarella into cubes or slices. Grease a baking dish.
Spread a layer of tomato passata on the bottom. Then add a layer of potatoes. Distribute the slices of mozzarella. Cover with another layer of tomato and then potatoes. At this point, distribute the slices of ham and mozzarella. Add more tomato passata. Sprinkle with grated Parmigiano Reggiano.
Cook in a preheated oven at 392°F for 30-35 minutes.
Essential Tip: I recommend cooking this dish in advance and letting it cool slightly or completely. This allows all the ingredients to bind well and prevents the tomato passata from becoming too watery once the dish is cut.
