Batata Suíça is a rich and savory dish. The dominant flavors are creamy, cheesy, and potato-centric, enhanced by the savory notes of ham and the subtle sweetness of sautéed onions.
The dish features boiled potatoes, often sliced, layered with a creamy sauce made from cream (creme de leite), sometimes béchamel, and various cheeses like mozzarella, Gruyère (though often substituted with cheaper local cheeses), and Parmesan. Ham or bacon is frequently added for a smoky and salty counterpoint. Sautéed onions provide a mild sweetness that balances the richness. Seasonings typically include salt, pepper, and sometimes nutmeg. The entire assembly is baked until golden brown and bubbly.

Potato Preparation
Boil the potatoes until tender but firm, avoiding overcooking which can result in a mushy texture. Allow them to cool slightly before slicing.
Cheese Selection
While traditional recipes may call for Gruyère, feel free to experiment with different cheeses based on your preference and availability. Emmental, provolone, or a blend of cheeses can work well.
Creamy Sauce Consistency
Ensure the creamy sauce is not too thin, as it will make the dish watery. A slightly thickened sauce helps bind the potatoes and other ingredients together.
Browning
For a beautiful golden-brown crust, broil the dish for a few minutes at the end of baking, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
