I’ve done this.

Use the blower to move any piles of leaves. A few here and there aren’t a problem, but if you can see the grass, you can’t cut the grass.

Set the blade height as high as you can.

Overlap your lines more than normal to have the mower hit your clippings.

Run the blower again to distribute any clumps.

Wait a week and then do it one more time, even if the grass hasn’t grown.

Better to do it on dry, sunny days, if you have the option.
