Ingredients

Directions

  1. Peel the potatoes and slice them into thin, uniform rounds, approximately 0.5 cm thick.
  2. Place the potato slices in a pot of boiling water and cook for 4 minutes until just starting to soften, or microwave them covered with 2 teaspoons of water on high for 2 minutes.
  3. Drain the potatoes carefully and pat them completely dry with a clean kitchen towel to remove excess moisture.
  4. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  5. Add the finely chopped onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
  6. Stir in the crushed garlic and chopped garlic cloves, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
  7. Add the parboiled potato slices to the skillet and toss gently to coat them in the oil and onion mixture.
  8. Pour in the chopped tomatoes and scatter the fresh basil and thyme over the top.
  9. Simmer the mixture for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and the tomatoes have broken down into a light sauce.
  10. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  11. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped parsley.
  12. Transfer to serving plates and sprinkle with grated cheese before serving warm.
