Put a pan on the heat with plenty of oil and bring it to temperature.
Put half of the eggplants and all the potatoes in the pan.
Cook by adding a glass of water and a bit of salt, continue cooking until the potatoes become soft.
Transfer everything to the immersion blender beaker along with the diced Parmesan cheese and blend until the mixture is perfectly smooth.
