Veggies & Wine

posted by Deb on Saturday, December 12, 2009

I was very nervous about this one because I tried another potato casserole a few months ago that sucked … big time .. inedible. This one was a hit — and with no added fat! It’s a great meal for Friday nights when you just want something easy to throw together. I served this with a garden salad. Feel free to reduce the garlic – we are a garlic lovin’ family! I was so hungry and running late I forgot to take a picture. I will definately be making this dish again so next time.

Deb’s Potato Casserole

Prep Time: 20 mins, Cook Time: 1 hr, Ready in 1 hr 30 mins*

Serves: 6

Ingredients

• 4 large potatoes with skin, diced (I used about 7 smaller sized potatoes)
• 1 large onion, diced
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 cup veggie broth (or wine)
• 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, drained
• 1 can (8 oz) plain tomato sauce
• 1 tsp basil
• 1 tsp oregano
• 1 tbsp parsley
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
• 1 tbsp soy sauce, low sodium

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and boil water in a large pot for the potatoes
2. Add potatoes to boiling water and let cook until tender (about 30 minutes). Drain
3. While the potatoes are boiling heat a saucepan and add broth.
4. Add onions and garlic stirring frequently until tender (about 10 minutes). Remove from heat
5. Add remaining ingredients (except for potatoes) to the onion/garlic mixture.
6. Place a small amount of the tomato mixture on the bottom of a 9×13 baking dish.
7. Add a layer of potatoes (I added salt and pepper to each layer of the potatoes), top with 1/2 of the tomato mixture then add the remaining potatoes (salt & pepper this layer as well) and top off with remaining tomato mixture. Bake for 30-45 minutes or until potatoes are completely cooked. I like my potatoes really cooked and soft so I baked them about 45 minutes

* These are approximates as I didn’t exactly time myself to the exact minute.
