The potato gateau is a traditional dish from Naples, also known as "gattò" (Italianized by the French). It's a patty au gratin with boiled mashed potatoes, traditionally mixed with animal ingredients of various types.
We of course propose a version totally vegan and cruelty free and nuch more light and digestible, though no less delicious.
We have put together a very simple version to cook as much as we do, for a daily healthy and tasty cooking!
 

Boil the potatoes in their skins.

Meanwhile wash the kale, cut into strips and let it simmer in a large pan with a little oil and half a glass of water. Add salt, stir and cover, stirring occasionally and adding more water if necessary.

When the potatoes are cooked, drain them, put them under cold water, peel and mash with the potato masher.

Take the tofu, cut into cubes and then crumble it with the prongs of a fork.

When cooked, add the kale to the potatoes, add the crumbled tofu and a couple of tablespoons of nutritional yeast flakes, then mix carefully all the ingredients.

Lightly grease a baking sheet, sprinkle the bottom with a spoonful of breadcrumbs and pour in the mixture for the potato gateau.

Smooth it down well with the back of a spoon, in order to obtain a smooth surface.

Sprink the surface with a spoonful of breadcrumbs and one of nutritional yeast flakes, so that while cooking they form a delicious crust.

Bake at 200° C for approximately 25-30 minutes, until the surface is browned to perfection.
