Method

1. Boil the potatoes in their skins until tender (about 25 minutes), then peel and mash them while still warm.
2. Preheat the oven to 200°C and grease a baking dish with half of the olive oil.
3. In a large bowl, mix the mashed potatoes with the egg, half the parmesan, salt, and pepper.
4. Cut the cooked ham and mozzarella into small pieces.
5. Spread half of the potato mixture into the dish, then layer the ham and mozzarella in the center.
6. Cover with the remaining potato mixture, smoothing the surface with a spoon.
7. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs and the rest of the parmesan on top, drizzle with the remaining oil, and bake for 20 minutes until golden.

Tips

• Let the gateau rest for 10 minutes after baking; it will firm up and become easier to slice.
• Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days; it's even more flavorful when reheated in a pan.
