Directions
-
Slice the potatoes into round pieces. Place the slices in a bowl, mix with 1 teaspoon of salt and 100 grams of water. Let the mixture sit overnight. Microwave the soaked potatoes for 10 minutes.
-
Heat 35 grams of butter in a pan until lightly melted. Add 1 teaspoon of minced garlic and sauté lightly. Turn off the heat, then mix in 1 teaspoon of paprika powder. Pour 3/4 of this garlic butter mixture into a separate bowl for later use.
-
Arrange the potato slices evenly in the pan over low heat. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese generously over the potatoes. Add another layer of potatoes, followed by another layer of mozzarella cheese. Repeat this layering process one more time. Drizzle the reserved garlic butter evenly over the top layer. Cover the pan with a lid and allow the dish to cook until the cheese melts and the potatoes soften. Remove the lid and let the potatoes crisp on both sides for a few minutes.
