Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure a perfectly baked dish.
-
Prepare the Potatoes: Peel the baking potatoes and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds for even cooking.
-
Grease the Dish: Lightly oil a 9 x 13-inch casserole dish to prevent sticking and enhance flavor.
-
Combine Cheeses: In a bowl, mix together the parmesan and mozzarella cheese, setting aside some mozzarella for topping later.
-
Layer the Ingredients: Begin layering the sliced potatoes, tomatoes, and onions in the prepared dish. Sprinkle each layer with the cheese mixture and season with oregano, salt, and pepper for depth of flavor.
-
Add Butter and Bake: Dot the top layer with small pieces of butter to enhance richness. Cover the dish with foil and bake uncovered for 30 minutes.
-
Final Baking: After 30 minutes, remove the dish from the oven, sprinkle with the reserved mozzarella cheese, and return to the oven for an additional 20 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once baked, let the dish cool for a few minutes before serving. This Potatoes Italiano pairs beautifully with a fresh salad or crusty bread.
Enjoy sharing this delightful dish with family and friends, making it a staple at your gatherings and everyday meals.
