This baked potato casserole is from Basilicata, and is similar to a tiella, though simpler. To serve 4:

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time: 60 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound (450 g) potatoes, peeled and sliced
  • 1 pound (450 g) canned plum tomatoes, drained and sliced
  • 1 pound (450 g) onions, cut into rings
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup grated pecorino romano
  • A pinch of dried oregano
  • Salt

Preparation:

Grease an oven dish and layer the vegetables into it, dusting each layer with a little cheese and some salt. The last layer should be tomato; sprinkle the bread crumbs and a little oregano over it. Drizzle the olive oil over the dish and set it in a medium oven (360 F, 180 C) for about an hour. Serve hot.

Note: The amount of pecorino may seem slight. However, too much will add an aroma that not all like.

Yield: 4 servings baked potato casserole.
