1. Preheat the oven to 200 °C / 400 °F. Lightly grease a baking dish about 9 x 13 inches with a little of the olive oil.

2. Cook the potatoes in water with a pinch of the salt for 15 to 18 minutes, until very tender. Drain well and mash with the butter, a little black pepper, and 20 g of the all-purpose flour. Let cool for 5 minutes.

3. Stir the beaten egg into the mashed potatoes until you have a thick mixture. Shape into 12 small flat patties. Lightly coat them with the remaining all-purpose flour so they hold their shape better.

4. Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Brown the potato patties for 2 to 3 minutes per side, in batches, until lightly crusted. Set aside.

Chef tips
For a crispier top layer, make sure the potato patties are well browned in the skillet before assembling. If the sauce thickens too much, add 2 to 3 extra tablespoons of chicken broth.
Substitutions
You can use boneless chicken thighs instead of breast. Chives can be replaced with parsley or the green part of scallions. Mozzarella can be swapped for another good melting cheese such as Monterey Jack or mild Gouda.
