I am a big fan of lasagna. Each bite of this pasta dish is happiness made of layers of sauces and ingredients, it’s so flavorful and hearty. This time I am too lazy to cook the lasagna pasta, instead, I replaced it with potato. This new version of lasagna tastes very different from a regular lasagna, but it’s nevertheless filling and scrumptious.
You won’t be disappointed.

To make the Béchamel sauce: Melt butter over medium-low heat. Add flour, stir constantly until mixture turns into a paste, about 2 min. Pour in milk, stir consistently with a whisk / spatula, until the sauce thickens and becomes creamy, remove from heat. Finally add ground pepper, transfer sauce to a container for later use.
- Thinly slice the potato (less than 0.5cm), let stand in water for later use.
- Heat oil in a small pan, add chopped onion, minced garlic and ground beef, saute.
- Add stock, red wine, tomato paste, Italian spice when the beef is no longer pink. Switch to medium heat once liquid is brought to boil, stir constantly.
- Keep cooking until meat sauce is reduced and thickened. Remove from heat, season with salt (can be slightly more salty than usual).
- Press a layer of potatoes (patted dry with paper towel) evenly into the bottom of a greased square baking pan, top with Béchamel sauce, meat sauce then mozzarella, repeat until all ingredients are used up.
- Bake at 200 C for 50 min to 1 hour. Cover baking pan with aluminum foil if you fear the cheese will be burnt.
