3. Turn down to medium heat and let cook for 15-20 minutes allowing the flavors to marry.

Potatoes

5 russet potatoes sliced in ½ inch coins washed, making sure to get rid of all the dirt

Boil potato coins until fork tender, but still pliable.( I like to leave the skins of the potatoes on, but by all means you can peal them off!)


Garlic & Oregano Butter


1 stick of unsalted butter melted

1 teaspoon oregano

¼ teaspoons of garlic salt

2 teaspoons Parmesan Cheese(dried)

Melt butter, then mix in seasonings.

Preheat oven to 350*F


Building the Tart


Take Marinara cover the bottom of the crust, enough just to cover. Then place potato coins on top of the marinara sauce, cover until you can no longer seen the sauce. Brush Butter on them, then drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle on a pinch of salt and pepper. Then fold crust on the edges of the potatoes.

Bake in a 400*F oven for 25-30 minutes just in crust in cook all the way through, slightly brown constantly brush the butter on top. Then turn your oven to a low broil, and let brown for 5 minutes. Then crack two eggs on top and place back under the broiler for 8 minutes, or however long you’d like your eggs to cook.

Once tart is done topped with fresh sweet basil for garnish!

~Enjoy!~
