Potato With Mozzarella Recipes

PARMESAN MOZZARELLA POTATOES

Steps:

• Peel potatoes and slice 1/4 inch thick.
• In a medium size bowl combine cheeses, flour, salt, pepper and paprika. Place mixture in a plastic bag.
• Add potatoes to bag and shake to coat. Place potatoes in a 9 x 13 inch baking pan. Pour melted butter evenly over potatoes.

POTATO CAKES WITH MOZZARELLA AND PESTO

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Bake the potatoes right on an oven rack until a bit overcooked, about 1 hour. Let sit until cool enough to handle, cut in half, and scoop out the flesh. Reserve the potato skins, if desired, for another use.
• Lower the oven to 250 degrees F.
• Pass the potatoes through a potato ricer or grate them on the large holes of a box grater. You should have about 6 cups. Season the potatoes with the salt and pepper, and then divide them into 16 equal balls. Press each ball into a patty about 1/3-inch thick.
• Cut half of the cheese into 1/4-inch pieces. Place a piece of cheese in the middle of each of 8 patties. Cover with the remaining patties. Shape the patties into smooth disks. Lightly dust the patties on both sides with flour. (Potato patties can be made ahead and covered and refrigerated up to 1 day before cooking.)
• Heat a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add 3 tablespoons of oil and heat until the oil just begins to smoke. Place 4 patties in the skillet. When you hear the patties sizzle, lower the heat to medium. Cook until brown and crispy on both sides, 10 to 12 minutes total, turning once. If the potatoes absorb all the oil, add another tablespoon or 2 of oil to the skillet and cook the remaining 4 patties.
• In a microwave-safe bowl, warm the pesto in the microwave for about 30 seconds or until warm throughout. Grate the remaining mozzarella.
• To serve: Sprinkle each potato cake with grated mozzarella and place in a 250 degrees F oven until the cheese is melted. Spoon pesto on top of each cake and serve immediately.

POTATO WITH MOZZARELLA

• Place potatoes in the oven and cook for 1 hour. Remove potatoes from the oven and sprinkle shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan on top of the potatoes and place back in the oven for 5 minutes or until cheese is melted and golden brown.

TWICE BAKED POTATOES WITH MOZZARELLA, TOMATO AND BASIL

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F or 180°C.
• Bake the potatoes in the oven for about an hour, until the skins are firm and the centre is soft.
• Meanwhile, chop the cherry tomatoes into eighths and set aside. Add the grated mozzarella, chopped basil and pine nuts.
• When the potatoes are cooked, remove from the oven. Halve them lengthways and scoop out the majority of the flesh with a spoon. Be very careful not to tear the skin- leave a quarter inch of flesh still in the skin to provide a firm shell.
• Lightly mash with a fork the flesh that has been removed from the skins. Mix in the cream cheese. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Add the mozzarella and tomato mixture to the mashed potato and scoop back into the shells.
• Place on a foil-covered baking tray and bake for 5-10 minutes, until the filling is hot and beginning to turn golden.
• Serve hot!

BABY POTATO AND MOZZARELLA PAPILLOTE

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Mix potatoes with pesto in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper and transfer to a large square of aluminum foil. Cover with a second square of foil and seal the potatoes by pressing the edges together to form a packet (une papillote).
• Place the packet on the preheated grill, close the lid, and cook until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes. Carefully remove the top piece of foil and add mozzarella cheese. Close the grill and cook until cheese is slightly browned, about 5 minutes. Serve immediately.

MUDDLED POTATO & MOZZARELLA TORTILLA

Steps:

• Start by frying: Heat the oil in a large frying pan. Empty the potatoes into the pan, spread them out to cover the base, then fry for 5 minutes. Pour in the beaten eggs so they completely cover the potatoes, season well and leave the tortilla to cook on a medium heat for about 15-20 minutes, or until the base and edges have set.
• Grill to finish: Take the tortilla off the hob and place under a hot grill until the top is firm, then remove from the grill and scatter over the tomatoes and mozzarella. Put the tortilla back under the grill for a further 3-5 minutes, or until the tomatoes are soft and the cheese has melted. To serve, cut into thick wedges.

TOMATO, POTATO AND MOZZARELLA BAKE

Steps:

• 1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add potatoes and parboil for 5 minutes. Strain. (Note: these should be a little underdone so that they won't get too mushy when you bake them in the oven.)
• 2. In a large casserole dish, layer potato, tomato, and mozzarella. You will only have one layer but overlap these so that the mozzarella melts over the potato and tomato. Sprinkle with Romano cheese, garlic, salt and pepper. Drizzle lightly with extra virgin olive oil.
• 3. Bake in a preheated 350-degree oven for 20-25 minutes or until cheese is melted and slightly golden. Serve hot.
