Osteria Luchin's Potato Meatloaf
Polpettone di Patata all'Osteria Luchin

ADD TO MY RECIPE BOX

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 meatloaf.  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 pound cooked string beans

4 medium size potatoes (about 2 pounds), boiled unpeeled in salted water

3 eggs

1 small yellow onion, minced

1 garlic clove, minced

3 tablespoons melted butter

1 tablespoon fresh minced marjoram

1/2 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

4 tablespoons milk

Olive oil

3/4 cup toasted bread crumbs

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F.

 

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, minced onion, garlic, butter, marjoram, 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.
