Step 3: Prepare the Potatoes

  1. Wash, peel (optional), and thinly slice the potatoes. A mandoline slicer works best for uniform slices.
  2. To speed up cooking, you can parboil the slices for 5 minutes in salted water, then drain and pat dry. This ensures they cook evenly in the oven.

Step 4: Assemble the Potato Lasagna

  1. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or olive oil.
  2. Spread a thin layer of creamy sauce on the bottom of the dish.
  3. Add a layer of potato slices, slightly overlapping each slice.
  4. Sprinkle some shredded chicken on top.
  5. Drizzle with sauce and sprinkle a little mozzarella cheese.
  6. Repeat the layers (potatoes → chicken → sauce → cheese) until all ingredients are used, ending with a layer of sauce and a generous topping of mozzarella.

Step 5: Bake the Lasagna

  1. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes.
  2. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15–20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the potatoes are tender.
  3. Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This helps the layers set and makes serving easier.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

  • Garnish with fresh parsley or basil for color and freshness.
  • Serve hot as a main dish with a simple side salad or roasted vegetables.

Tips for Perfect Potato Lasagna

  • Thin, even slices are crucial for consistent cooking.
  • Use a mandoline or sharp knife to ensure uniformity.
  • For extra flavor, add sautéed onions or garlic to the sauce.
  • Leftovers taste even better the next day as the flavors meld together.

This Potato Lasagna with Chicken is a comforting, cheesy, and satisfying twist on traditional lasagna. Each layer offers a balance of creamy sauce, tender chicken, and soft potatoes, making it a dish that will delight both kids and adults alike.
