Notes
Use Firm Potatoes: Choose starchy potatoes like Russets for a firmer texture that holds up well in the moussaka layers.
Even Slicing: Slice the zucchini and potatoes evenly to ensure they cook uniformly, creating a perfect layer every time.
Pat Dry Zucchini: Before dipping the zucchini in the flour mixture, pat it dry to remove excess moisture. This prevents soggy layers and enhances the dish’s texture.
Crispier Potatoes: If you prefer extra crispy potatoes, give them a quick pre-bake for 10 minutes before layering them with the zucchini and other toppings.
