Potato Gateau

Method

1. Bring a pot of water to a boil and add whole potatoes with skins. Cook until tender.
2. Check doneness by piercing a potato with a fork; it should go in easily.
3. Let the potatoes cool slightly, then peel and mash them while still warm using a potato masher.
4. In a bowl, combine the mashed potatoes with eggs, cubed mozzarella, cubed salami, Parmesan, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
5. Add a little milk to make the mixture softer and more moist.
6. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
7. Butter a 26 cm round baking dish and coat it completely with breadcrumbs.
8. Pour the potato mixture into the dish and spread it evenly with a spoon.
9. Sprinkle the top with breadcrumbs and dot with butter.
10. Bake at 180°C for 15 minutes, then switch to grill for 10 minutes on the top rack to brown the crust.
