Gattò di patate

(Neapolitan Potato Cake)

Gattò di patate is a traditional dish originating from Naples. This savory potato cake is made with mashed potatoes that are enriched with butter, eggs, and grated cheese such as parmesan or smoked scamorza. Cured meat such as salami, cooked ham, and prosciutto cubes can also be added to the filling, as there are many variations on the dish.


The mixture is spread in a flat dish, gratinated with breadcrumbs and baked until golden brown and crisp on top. Once done, it’s served warm, and it’s usually sliced just like a cake.
