- Cut eggplant into 1cm-thick slices. Brush on both sides with a little oil and pan-fry for two to three minutes on each side to brown. Season all over with salt and pepper. Heat oven to 190 degC.
- Layer potato, tomato sauce and eggplant in an ovenproof dish, finishing with a layer of eggplant. Bake for 20 minutes or until bake is bubbling hot and golden brown.
