Potato Lasagna

I hate when I have a recipe flop. It was a great idea that could still be great with some tweaking.

Ingredients

1. Potatoes, peeled and sliced into thin rounds. I used a mandolin to do mine.

2. Tomato sauce

3. Feta

4. Diced tomatoes, I used canned with green peppers and onions.

5. Parmesan, shredded

6. ricotta cheese

7. Mixed Italian cheese, shredded

8. chicken, diced

9. pancetta ham, diced

10. diced, frozen spinach

11. Herb de province

I alternated the ingredients with layers of potato rounds getting about 4 layers out of four large baking potatoes. I think this would have been better using a red potato. I baked at 350 degrees F for one hour.

For some reason I was convinced that I could not add milk or cream to this because of the acid in the tomatoes. I now think this is the problem with this recipe. I wanted it to be creamy and rich and instead it was soupy and rather blah.

I may attempt this again using cream or milk to balance everything out. Also I would have marinated the chicken or replaced it with ground sausage. Adding a bit of pasta such as orzo might have been good too.
