Ingredients

  • 500 g yellow potatoes, peeled and cut into largish slices, wedges or chunks
  • 250-300 g cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
  • 1 small red or yellow onion or half a large one, peeled and sliced (not too thin)
  • A good pinch of dried oregano
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • olive oil

To finish the dish:

  • 1 or 2 balls of mozzarella about 110-125g (4 oz) each, cut into cubes or torn into pieces

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, add the potatoes, tomatoes, onion, seasonings and oil. Mix well with a spatula, or better, with your hands.
  • Transfer all the ingredients to a greased baking dish. Drizzle over a bit more of the olive oil. Bake in a hot (200C/400F) oven for about 30-40 minutes, or until the potatoes are perfectly tender and lightly browned on top.
  • Take the baking dish out of the oven. Top the potatoes the mozzarella.
  • Return the baking dish to the oven and continue baking just until the mozzarella has melted, about 5-10 minutes.
  • Let the dish rest for a few minutes and serve.
