This is a very easy light version but can be tweeked to your liking. You can add a couple of eggs to the potato mash, but I didn’t for this one. You could also add peas, a little cooked onion if you like, or even substitute the salumi for tuna.

  • 1 kg potato - boiled, mashed and a tablespoon of butter added

  • 300 g di mozzarella

  • 150 g di prosciutto cotto

  • About a handful of breadcrumbs

  • salt

  • pepe

  • 80 g di grana padano or parmigiano
