Method

  1. To make the Four Cheese Potatoes, start with the vegetables themselves: wash, peel and thinly slice them with a mandoline, put them in a bowl and move on to the cheeses.

  2. Dice the scamorza and the fontina, then assemble the dish itself: butter a baking dish and make a first layer of potatoes, then continue with the pieces of scamorza, the pieces of fontina, the pecorino and finally the grated Parmigiano.

  3. Once you have made the first layer of potatoes and cheeses, season with salt and pepper to taste and repeat until you have used up all the ingredients. Finally, sprinkle everything with grated cheese and a few pats of butter, so the top turns nicely golden.

  4. Now bake the dish at 180 °C (350 °F) for 40 minutes and, if the top browns too much, cover it with aluminum foil, taking care to remove it for the last ten minutes of baking.
  5. When they are done, let the Four Cheese Potatoes cool for a few minutes before serving them to your guests. Finally, remember to download our App with exclusive content and fewer ads!
