👩‍🍳 Cooking Instructions

Step 2: Make the Savory Meat Sauce

1. Heat oil in a pan on your electric stove. Add the chopped onions and garlic paste, frying until soft and aromatic.

4. Let it simmer on medium heat until the sauce thickens nicely.

Step 3: Layer the Lasagna

2. Spread a thin layer of the prepared meat sauce at the very bottom.
3. Place a layer of the thin potato slices, slightly overlapping them to cover the sauce completely.
4. Add another generous layer of meat sauce over the potatoes, and sprinkle a mix of shredded Cheddar and Mozzarella cheese.
5. Repeat the layers (Potatoes -> Meat Sauce -> Cheese) until your dish is fully stuffed, making sure the top layer is heavily covered with cheese.

Step 4: Bake to Perfection

1. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 35-40 minutes until the potatoes are tender.
2. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until the cheese is completely melted, bubbly, and beautifully golden brown on top.
3. Let it cool for 10 minutes before cutting into it so the layers hold their shape!
