Potato moussaka is a delicious and hearty dish that combines layers of potatoes, eggplant, and a rich meat sauce, all topped with a creamy béchamel. This Mediterranean comfort food is perfect for family dinners or special occasions. Let’s walk through this recipe step-by-step to help you create this wonderful dish at home.
- For a vegetarian version, you can replace the ground beef with a mix of lentils and mushrooms.
- Slice the potatoes and eggplants evenly to ensure they cook uniformly.
- You can prepare the meat sauce a day in advance to save time on the day you plan to assemble and bake the moussaka.
- Allow the moussaka to cool for about 10-15 minutes before slicing to ensure cleaner slices.
- Use fresh, ripe tomatoes for the best flavor, or substitute with canned tomatoes if out of season.
