Step 15
Brush the tomatoes with the remaining sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle the top with grated cheese. Place the dish in an oven preheated to approximately 190–200 degrees Celsius. After about 30 minutes, cover the top of the dish with a sheet of aluminum foil and continue baking for another 30 minutes. Why use foil? This is necessary to prevent the cheese from burning. There's no need to seal the dish tightly with foil—just place it on top so that excess moisture can evaporate from the edges. Adjust the exact baking time and temperature according to your oven and the doneness of the potatoes.
