1. STEP 1

   

   How to bake potatoes with cheese and tomatoes in the oven? Prepare the necessary ingredients. Choose medium-sized potatoes. Choose tomatoes that are ripe, strong and juicy. When cut and cooked, soft fruits will not retain their shape and will turn into mush. Instead of vegetable oil for dressing, you can take sour cream of any fat content, natural yogurt without additives, or mix sour cream and mayonnaise in equal proportions (about 3 tablespoons each). Turn on the oven at 180C.

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash the potatoes, peel and cut into thin slices (about 3 mm thick). It is convenient to use a special grater or food processor when slicing, then the potato slices will turn out equally thin and more accurate.

   Lightly grease any heat-resistant dish with high sides with vegetable oil (high-smoking). Spread half of the sliced ​​potatoes in an even layer.

   Add chopped herbs to the dressing and stir. If you think the sauce is too thick, add 1-2 tbsp. l. boiled water. If desired, you can add your favorite spices to the dressing. Paprika, allspice, dried basil, and Italian herbs are excellent options.

9. STEP 9

   

   Drizzle half of the dressing over all the tomatoes.

10. STEP 10

    

    Pepper to taste. It is better to use freshly ground pepper, it is more aromatic.

11. STEP 11

    

    Grate hard cheese on a coarse grater. Take any tasty cheese that melts well in the oven. You can replace it with unbrined mozzarella or suluguni. Place 1/3 of the cheese on the tomatoes.

15. STEP 15

16. STEP 16

    

    Cover the pan with foil, but so that it does not come into close contact with the cheese, otherwise, when it melts, it will all end up on the foil and not on the dish. Bake the dish in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for about 40 minutes until the potatoes are soft. Since everyone's oven bakes differently, the baking time and temperature may need to be adjusted. Focus on the features of your equipment.

17. STEP 17

    

    Remove the foil and bake for another 15 minutes without it to form a cheesy, delicious crust.

Great dish, thank you. It turned out delicious. Those who don’t want to add tomatoes can bake potatoes in sour cream, it’s also delicious.

Baked potatoes with tomatoes and cheese in the oven - a great option for dinner! Very tasty, satisfying, appetizing! Peeled the potatoes and cut them into thin slices. I cut the tomatoes into slices, grated the cheese on a fine grater, and chopped the dill. For the dressing, I used sour cream, to which I added chopped garlic, herbs, salt, pepper and stirred. In a mold greased with vegetable oil, layered potatoes, tomatoes, cheese, dressing. Covered the mold with foil and put it in the oven for 40 minutes at 180°. Then I removed the foil, sprinkled with the remaining cheese, herbs and another 15 minutes. Simple and very tasty 👍. I recommend trying it and thanks to the author for the recipe 😘
