• 1 large Onion
• 4 Garlic cloves
• 1 14-ounce can Canned diced tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Peel the potatoes and cut them into thick wedges or quarters.

Step 3

Thinly slice the onion and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 4

In a large ovenproof baking dish, arrange the potato wedges in an even layer.

Step 5

Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 6

Stir in the garlic, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, vegetable stock, oregano, thyme, and bay leaf. Simmer the sauce for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 7

Season the sauce with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 8

Pour the tomato mixture evenly over the potatoes in the baking dish, ensuring all potatoes are well coated.

Step 9

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes.

Step 10

Remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the sauce has thickened.

Step 11

Remove from the oven, discard the bay leaf, and sprinkle the finished dish with chopped fresh parsley and a drizzle of lemon juice.

Step 12

Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm as a side dish or on its own with crusty bread.
