Gattò
Description
The recipe will not take much time. It is a wonderful choice for a family lunch or dinner. For the potatoes, floury varieties work best—the casserole will turn out more tender. Instead of ham, you can use sausage or other sausage and meat products. Serve warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.
