Gateau di Patate (Potato Pie) This is one of my absolute favorite traditional Neapolitan dishes that my family makes! It makes a wonderful main course with a salad or can be used as a side dish for a holiday like Thanksgiving. If you have never had the pleasure of this delight, please do, it will knock your socks off!
