4 onions
1 green bell-pepper
4 T. oil
6-7 oz. can tomato paste
1 tsp. salt
2 cloves of garlic
1/2 tsp. dry basil
1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
2 lb. potatoes
Recipe
Peel the onions and slice thin. Slice the bell pepper to thin stripes.
Heat the oil in a large frying pan and sauté the onions for about 8 minutes, until
they soften and become golden in color. Add the pepper stripes and fry together for 5
more minutes. Add tomato paste, salt, garlic, basil and black pepper. Cook together for 5 more
minutes. Add a few T. of water.
Peel the potatoes and slice them. Grease an oven-proof dish (a large Pyrex is
great for this). Place a little of the sauce at the bottom of the dish.
Arrange half the potato slices on it. Cover with half the sauce.
Arrange the rest of potatoes in a second layer and cover them with the remaining suce.
Cover the dish well with aluminum foil and bake in the oven in moderate heat for 1 hour.
Remove foil and bake for 15 more minutes to give it a nice golden color.
Serve warm.
You may prepare it several hours ahead and leave in the oven in very low heat until
serving.
