Ingredients

• 4 medium Potatoes
• 2 medium Yellow onions
• 3 medium Tomatoes
• 3 large Garlic cloves
• 4 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 teaspoons Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Dried basil
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Peel and slice the potatoes into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Set them aside in a bowl of water to prevent browning.

Step 3

Cut the onions in half, then slice them into thin half-moons.

Step 4

Slice the tomatoes into rounds of similar thickness to the potatoes.

Step 5

Finely chop the garlic and parsley and set aside.

Step 6

Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a kitchen towel.

Step 7

In a large baking dish, drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil and spread it evenly.

Step 8

Layer the potato slices at the bottom of the dish, slightly overlapping them. Sprinkle a pinch of salt, black pepper, a small amount of oregano, and basil over the layer.

Step 9

Next, add a layer of onion slices followed by a layer of tomatoes. Sprinkle salt, black pepper, oregano, and basil again, and drizzle a bit of olive oil.

Step 10

Repeat layering potatoes, onions, and tomatoes with the seasonings until all the ingredients are used up, finishing with a top layer of tomatoes.

Step 11

Drizzle the remaining olive oil evenly over the top layer and sprinkle any leftover garlic, parsley, and optional Parmesan cheese.

Step 12

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

Step 13

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden brown.

Step 14

Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with extra parsley if desired.
