Polpettone di Patata all”Osteria Luchin Osteria – Luchin’s Potato Meat loaf
This neat and easy to make potato casserole. is a favorite of mine from the Osteria Luchin in Liguria, a family run restaurant where I first sampled it a few years ago. They call it a potato meat loaf. I make it in a cast iron pan but a regular baking dish will do. Vary the vegetables with asparagus or small peas.
Ingredients
- 1/2 lb cooked string beans
- 4 medium potatoes (about 2 pounds), boiled unpeeled in salted water
- 3 eggs
- 1 small yellow onion, minced
- 3 tbsp melted butter
- 1 tbsp fresh minced marjoram
- 1/2 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
- 4 tbsp milk
- Olive oil
- 3/4 cup toasted bread crumbs
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350F
- Mince the string beans and place them in a large bowl. Peel the potatoes and put them through a potato ricer or food mill. Add to the bowl with the string beans. Add the eggs, marjoram, minced onions, garlic, butter, and Parmesan cheese. Thin with a little milk and season with salt.
- Grease a 9-inch cast iron skillet or round baking pan with olive oil and coat with bread crumbs. Press potato mixture into pan, and using a fork, create diagonal lines on top. Drizzle with olive oil and bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until hot and crusty.
