Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized Potatoes
- 2 medium-sized Carrots
- 1 medium-sized Zucchini
- 1 Red bell pepper
- 1 medium-sized Onion
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dried Italian herbs
- 1 cup Cream
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
Peel the potatoes and thinly slice them into rounds about 1/8 inch thick. You can use a mandoline slicer for even slices.
Peel and dice the carrots, and cut the zucchini and red bell pepper into small cubes. Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the carrots, zucchini, and red bell pepper to the skillet. Season with salt, black pepper, and dried Italian herbs, and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are slightly tender.
In the greased baking dish, arrange a layer of potato slices, slightly overlapping. Sprinkle a small pinch of salt and pepper over the potato layer.
Spoon half of the vegetable mixture evenly over the potatoes. Drizzle with a few tablespoons of cream and sprinkle with a small amount of mozzarella cheese.
Add another layer of potatoes, repeating the process with the vegetables, cream, and mozzarella cheese. Finish with a final layer of potatoes.
Pour the remaining cream evenly over the top layer of potatoes, ensuring it seeps throughout the layers.
Top the dish with shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly, and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
Serve warm as a main dish or a side dish and enjoy!
