Ingredients:
2 large onions, thinly sliced
2 lbs potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
1 lb tomatoes ( fresh or 1 lb canned sliced with their juice)
6 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated or 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese
salt and pepper
5 basil leaves
1/4 cup water
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Brush a large baking dish generously with oil.
Arrange a layer of onions in the dish, followed by layers of potatoes and tomatoes. Pour on a little of the oil, and sprinkle with the cheese. Season with salt and pepper.
Repeat until the vegetables are used up, ending with an overlapping layer of potatoes and tomatoes. Tear the basil leaves into pieces, and add them here and there among the vegetables. Sprinkle the top with cheese, and a little oil.
Pour on the water. Bake for 1 hour, or until tender.
If the top begins to brown too much cover with foil or a flat baking tray.
Serve hot.
