The potatoes do break down, so starting with thick slices keeps them from totally dissolving. Canned tomatoes - we usually use canned tomato sauce, but diced or crushed tomatoes would do nicely.

It had a unique flavor I was not expecting from the ingredients. Are the potatoes supposed to cook down to very tiny pieces? I used Yukon Gold potatoes and this is what happened. If potatoes should maintain their thick slice, is it better to use a waxy potato? This was absolutely delicious. It had a unique flavor I was not expecting from the ingredients.

Sorry I haven't been around lately, but I promise to read all your posts I missed. Well, this proves that Greeks have imagination and don't just stick to one boring recipe, so what's bad about many versions and opinions about this food? Hi Lulu.

I love how the potatoes soak up the flavors. On the other hand, they make the dish less freezer-friendly (at least for my taste). Kalyn, thanks for visiting!
