Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté diced onions and minced garlic until soft. Add tomato sauce, oregano, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes.
In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, half the parmesan cheese, and chopped basil.
Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce in the bottom of the baking dish.
Layer potato slices over the sauce, then spread ricotta mixture, spoon more sauce, and sprinkle with mozzarella. Repeat layers, finishing with sauce and mozzarella.
Dot the top with butter and sprinkle with the remaining parmesan cheese.
Cover with foil and bake for 40 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 20 minutes until golden and bubbly.
Let rest for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Use a mandoline slicer for even potato slices and faster prep.
Let the lasagna rest before slicing to keep the layers intact.
Freeze leftovers in airtight containers for easy meals later.
Feel free to add sautéed vegetables like spinach or mushrooms between layers for added flavor and nutrition.
