Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium russet potatoes
- 1 lb ground beef
- 24 oz marinara sauce
- 1.5 cups ricotta cheese
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cups grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Peel the potatoes and slice them thinly (about 1/8-inch thick) using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife. Set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned and fully cooked through, breaking it apart with a spoon. Drain any excess grease.
Stir the marinara sauce into the cooked ground beef. Add garlic powder, dried Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes and remove from heat.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, grated Parmesan, the egg, a pinch of salt, and black pepper. Stir until smooth and well mixed.
Spread a thin layer of the meat sauce on the bottom of the prepared casserole dish to start the layering process.
Place a layer of sliced potatoes over the sauce, slightly overlapping the edges.
Spread a layer of the ricotta mixture over the potatoes, followed by a sprinkle of shredded mozzarella cheese.
Repeat the layers: meat sauce, potatoes, ricotta, and mozzarella, until all ingredients are used up, finishing with a top layer of meat sauce and mozzarella cheese.
Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 20 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbly and the potatoes are fork-tender.
Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
