Instructions
- Prepare potatoes by washing, peeling, and creating translucent slices using a mandolin slicer. Immerse potato slices in cold water, rinsing until liquid becomes transparent to eliminate excess starch.
- Thoroughly drain potato slices and meticulously pat them dry with clean kitchen towels to ensure optimal moisture removal.
- Select an air fryer-compatible baking dish and initiate layering strategy, creating a structured composition of ingredients.
- Commence initial layer with carefully arranged potato slices, ensuring complete coverage of dish’s bottom surface.
- Generously sprinkle Parmesan cheese across potato foundation, creating a delicate, savory base.
- Position ham slices uniformly over cheese layer, establishing a protein-rich stratum.
- Crown ham with pasta filata cheese, distributing evenly to guarantee consistent flavor distribution.
- Repeat layering sequence, progressively building vertical complexity with alternating ingredients.
- Apply gentle, consistent pressure to compress layers, enhancing structural integrity and flavor melding.
- Complete lasagna with ultimate layer of Parmesan cheese and strategically placed mozzarella cubes for achieving golden, crispy exterior.
- Transfer dish to preheated air fryer, maintaining precise temperature of 160°C (320°F) for comprehensive cooking duration of 45-50 minutes.
- Remove lasagna, allowing brief resting period to stabilize internal structure before portioning and serving.
Notes
- Potato Preparation Trick: Soaking potato slices in cold water helps remove excess starch, ensuring a crispier and less soggy texture in your lasagna.
- Slice Uniformity Matters: Use a mandolin for consistent, thin potato slices that cook evenly and create a more professional-looking dish.
- Cheese Selection Flexibility: Experiment with different hard and soft cheeses like Gruyère, cheddar, or ricotta to customize the flavor profile and suit dietary preferences.
- Low-Carb Adaptation: Replace traditional potato layers with thinly sliced zucchini or eggplant for an even lower-carb alternative that maintains the lasagna’s delicious layered structure.
