Equipment

  • Equipment Needed
  • Large pot
  • Potato masher or fork
  • Medium mixing bowl
  • 9-inch round baking pan or springform pan
  • Wooden spoon
  • Oven

Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients
  • 6 medium potatoes about 1 kg, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 50 g Parmesan cheese grated (or a dairy-free substitute for vegan options)
  • 2 large eggs lightly beaten (substitute with 2 tablespoons flaxseed meal mixed with 5 tablespoons water for a vegan version)
  • 150 ml whole milk substitute with plant-based milk for a dairy-free option
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley finely chopped, for garnish
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter for brushing
  • Optional add-ins:
  • 100 g mozzarella diced (for added creaminess)
  • 50 g ham or prosciutto diced (for a savory twist)

Instructions
 

  • Step-by-Step Instructions
  • Step 1: Prepare the Potatoes
  • Boil the potatoes: Place the peeled potato chunks in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water and bring it to a boil. Let the potatoes cook for about 15-20 minutes or until they are fork-tender.
  • Drain and mash: Drain the potatoes thoroughly and transfer them to a mixing bowl. While they’re still warm, mash them using a potato masher or fork until they are smooth and lump-free.
  • Step 2: Mix in Ingredients
  • Add the eggs and milk: Stir in the lightly beaten eggs and milk, mixing until you have a smooth and creamy potato mixture.
  • Incorporate cheese and seasonings: Add the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. If you’re adding mozzarella or ham, fold them in at this stage.
  • Combine well: Use a wooden spoon to mix everything thoroughly until well combined.
  • Step 3: Assemble the Tortino
  • Prepare the baking pan: Grease a 9-inch round baking pan or springform pan with a tablespoon of olive oil or melted butter.
  • Spread the potato mixture: Spoon the potato mixture into the prepared pan, pressing it down with the back of a spoon to create an even layer.
  • Brush the top: Lightly brush the top of the potato mixture with the remaining olive oil or melted butter. This will help the tortino achieve a beautiful golden crust during baking.
  • Step 4: Bake
  • Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 180°C (350°F) and let it preheat for about 10 minutes.
  • Bake: Place the pan in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are slightly crisp.
  • Step 5: Rest and Serve
  • Let it stand: Once out of the oven, allow the tortino to stand for 10 minutes before slicing. This resting time helps it set and makes it easier to serve.
  • Garnish and enjoy: Sprinkle with fresh parsley for a burst of color and added flavor. Serve warm, and enjoy the creamy, crispy layers of the Tortino di Patate.
  • Variations and Tips
  • Cheesy Twist: Add a layer of cheese on top before baking for a melted, golden crust.
  • Herb Infusion: Experiment with fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary to enhance the flavor.
  • For a Vegan Tortino: Substitute the eggs with flaxseed meal (as listed) and use plant-based milk and cheese.
  • Make it Gluten-Free: This dish is naturally gluten-free, so no modifications are necessary!
  • For a Hearty Meal: Add diced, cooked sausage or leftover roasted vegetables to make the tortino more filling.
