Italian Potato Cakes are a classic Italian dish that are crispy and savory on the outside, and soft and cheesy on the inside. They are typically served as an appetizer or side dish, but can also be enjoyed as a main course with a side salad. This dish is highly customizable, and can be made with a variety of different cheeses and seasonings to suit your taste. The potatoes are thinly sliced and cooked until tender, then layered with grated mozzarella and parmesan cheese, and drizzled with butter and milk before being baked until golden brown and crispy. Serve these potato cakes hot from the oven with a sprinkle of fresh herbs on top for a satisfying and delicious meal.
