Ingredients

  • 4 medium potatoes (about 2 lbs), peeled and thinly sliced
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a mix)
  • 1 onion, thinly sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp dried herbs (such as thyme, rosemary, or oregano)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. 2

    In a large skillet, heat 1 tbsp of olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced onions and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.

  4. 4

    In a large bowl, combine sliced potatoes, cooked onion and garlic, cheese, dried herbs, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.

  5. 5

    In another bowl, whisk together eggs and milk until well blended.

  6. 6

    Grease a round baking dish with the remaining olive oil. Layer half of the potato mixture in the bottom of the dish.

  7. 7

    Pour half of the egg and milk mixture over the potatoes. Add remaining potato mixture on top and pour the rest of the egg mixture over it.

  8. 8

    Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the potatoes are tender. Let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
