Ingredients

• 4 medium Russet potatoes
• 3 medium Tomatoes
• 1.5 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 2 small Garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Dried basil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil.

Step 2

Peel the potatoes and slice them into thin, even rounds, approximately 1/8-inch thick. Use a mandoline slicer if available for uniform slices.

Step 3

Slice the tomatoes into thin rounds, about the same thickness as the potatoes.

Step 4

Mince the garlic cloves and set them aside.

Step 5

In a small mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well blended.

Step 6

Assemble the bake by layering half of the potato slices at the bottom of the prepared baking dish, slightly overlapping them.

Step 7

Add a layer of sliced tomatoes over the potatoes, slightly overlapping them as well.

Step 8

Sprinkle half of the mozzarella cheese and half of the Parmesan cheese evenly over the tomato layer.

Step 9

Repeat the layers: add another layer of potatoes, followed by tomatoes, and then the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses.

Step 10

Pour the seasoned cream mixture evenly over the layered ingredients, ensuring it seeps through to the bottom.

Step 11

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

Step 12

Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender, the cheese is melted, and the top is golden brown.

Step 13

Allow the bake to cool for 5-10 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving, if desired.
