Perfect as a side dish or a light vegetarian main, this recipe brings together simple ingredients for a flavorful, satisfying meal that feels both rustic and elegant.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425&# 194;°F (220°C).
  2. Place peeled potatoes in a large pot and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  3. Drain the potatoes well and return them to the pot. Mash until smooth.
  4. Stir in softened butter, sour cream, chives, seasoned salt, and pepper until fully combined and creamy.
  5. Butter and lightly flour a 9 1/2-inch deep pie plate.
  6. Spread the mashed potato mixture evenly into the prepared pie plate.
  7. Arrange half of the sliced mozzarella cheese over the potato layer.
  8. Top with peeled and sliced tomatoes, ensuring even coverage.
  9. Sprinkle fresh basil and oregano over the tomatoes.
  10. Layer the remaining mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese on top.
  11. Drizzle melted butter evenly over the cheese and toppings.
  12. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the top is lightly golden.
  13. Allow the pie to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
