Potato and Tomato Pie

Submitted by Brian Holley

"Despite it's title there is no pastry in this dish. When we lived in Portugal we had this often, sometimes on it's own and at other times with pork chops or chicken. It's a wonderful blend of two of Portugal's favorite vegetables. Tonight we will have this with baked salmon."

i love this recipe! was very simple to make, and it turned out great. i wanted to add chouriÃ§o, but where i live, it's impossible to get. instead i substituted with a similar type of pork sausage, and my family loved it. thanks for sharing this recipe!
