Vegetarian Crusty Potato Peasant Casserole

Vegetarians can happily serve this with a fresh hearty bread for a full meal - even non-vegetarians will love it! Bring it to share at a potluck.

Serving: 8
Prep Time: 25 minutes
Cook Time: 9 minutes
Total Time: 34 minutes


Igredients
6 medium potatoes (2 pounds), peeled or unpeeled, very thinly sliced
3 large onions, halved and very thinly sliced
4 large cloves minced garlic
1 28-ounce can tomatoes, drained and chopped
1/4 cup tomato paste
1/3 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons water
2 teaspoons oregano
salt and pepper to taste


Directions
1. Heat oven to 400 degrees. Combine potatoes, onion, garlic and tomatoes; set aside.
2. Beat together remaining ingredients. Pour over vegetables and toss well to coat.
3. Spread in large, shallow baking dish (I use my large lasagna pan). Cover with aluminum foil and bake 30 minutes. Uncover and bake 45 more minutes, or until potatoes are tender.

* Cook's Notes: Excellent with cheese melted on top, too, if you aren't vegan, of course.
