Instructions
- Begin by peeling and grating 600 g of potatoes, then soak them in a large bowl of cold, salted water for 15 minutes.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté 1 chopped green onion until softened, about 2–3 minutes.
- Add in 150 g of baby spinach, seasoning with salt and pepper, and cook until wilted, roughly 2 minutes.
- Next, mix in 200 g of sliced champignon mushrooms, along with 1 minced garlic clove, and sauté for about 8 minutes, until the mushrooms are golden brown.
- Allow the filling to cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained and squeezed potatoes with 80 g of mozzarella cheese, 2 large eggs, 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley, and seasoning with salt, pepper, and 1 teaspoon of dried oregano.
- Stir this mixture until all ingredients are thoroughly combined, creating a sticky potato crust.
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F). Generously brush a 9-inch round baking dish with olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Press the potato mixture into the dish, forming a crust that is about 2 inches high around the edges.
- Bake the crust for 35-40 minutes, or until it turns golden brown and crispy.
- Once the crust is baked and has cooled slightly, gently spoon the prepared mushroom and spinach filling into the center, spreading it evenly.
- Top it off with the remaining 80 g of mozzarella cheese, 120 g of torn fior di latte, and 30 g of grated Parmesan.
- Return the loaded pie to the preheated oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- After baking, remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving warm.

Notes
Ensure your grated potatoes are completely drained to avoid a soggy crust. Don't skip the cooling step after baking to help the pie set for cleaner slices.
