Schiacciata di Patate bakes to crispy, golden perfection, filling your kitchen with an inviting aroma. Each bite combines the earthiness of rosemary and the nuttiness of Parmigiano Reggiano, creating a comforting dish that’s sure to be a hit at your next gathering. Schiacciata di patate is the ideal companion to arrosticini (Abruzzo lamb skewers) — the crispy potato flatbread soaks up the lamb drippings beautifully. It pairs just as well alongside Rita's stewed green beans and Greek potato salad with feta for a full Mediterranean side spread. When you want a proper centrepiece, a slow-cooked Greek beef stew (stifado) is the main course to reach for. Finish with chocolate dipped oranges and a glass of Gratsi White throughout.
Step 1: Preheat The Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12x18-inch baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: Slice The Potatoes
Slice the potatoes thinly using a mandolin and place them in a bowl of cold water. Let them sit for a few minutes, then drain well.
Step 3: Make The Batter
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, grated Parmigiano, sea salt, a generous splash of extra virgin olive oil, and cold water. Add the chopped rosemary and mix well to create a smooth, slightly thick batter.
Step 4: Mix Potatoes Into The Batter
Add the drained potato slices to the batter, mixing gently to ensure the potatoes are evenly coated, being careful not to break the slices.
Step 5: Spread On Baking Sheet
Spread the potato mixture evenly over the prepared baking sheet, making sure to create a uniform layer. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle with a bit more rosemary.
Step 6: Bake On Lower Rack
Place the baking sheet on the lower-middle rack and bake for 20 minutes.
Step 7: Move To Upper Rack
Move the baking sheet to the upper rack and continue to bake for another 20 minutes or until the potatoes turn golden and crispy.
Step 8: Broil For Final Crisp
For a final crisp, turn the oven to broil and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.
Step 9: Cool And Serve
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly. Cut into square slices for easy serving. Serve this Schiacciata di Patate as a delightful addition to your aperitivo, alongside your favorite glass of Gratsi White. Buon appetito!
