How to Make Potato And Spinach Gatto

  1. Boil 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes until tender (about 20 minutes).
  2. Drain potatoes and let cool slightly.
  3. Peel and mash potatoes until completely smooth using an up-and-down motion.
  4. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  5. Butter a 12x8x2-inch baking dish. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup breadcrumbs, shaking off excess.
  6. In a large bowl, combine mashed potatoes, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 2 large eggs, 2 tablespoons butter, and 1 teaspoon salt.
  7. In a separate bowl, combine 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1 cup béchamel sauce, 10 oz fresh spinach (chopped), 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, and 1/2 cup shredded Swiss cheese.
  8. Season the spinach mixture with 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  9. Using greased hands, press 2/3 of the potato mixture onto the bottom and sides of the prepared baking dish, forming a crust.
  10. Spoon the béchamel and spinach mixture evenly over the potato crust.
  11. Top with the remaining potato mixture, sealing the edges.
  12. Bake for 45 minutes, or until heated through and golden brown.
  13. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
