Gattò di patate

    Gattó di patate is a traditional potato cake recipe from Naples, Italy. This dish is a very tasty pie made with potatoes, mozzarella, parmesan, eggs, ham, cheese, and Italian mortadella. Depending on your taste, you can consume it hot or cold, as a single dish or rich main course.
