 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  2       tb           Olive oil
  1       t            Tomato paste
  1       lg           All-purpose potato -- scrubbed
                       - and cut into slices
                       - 1/16-in thick
  1                    Plum tomato
                       - cut into thin slices
                       Salt
                       Freshly ground black pepper
  2       ts           Parmesan cheese
    1/2   ts           Chopped flat-leaf parsley

 PREHEAT THE OVEN TO 400F. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil and
 tomato paste. Add the potato slices, tossing to cover evenly. In an 8-inch
 ovenproof skillet, layer the potatoes around the outside and in the center.
 Slide the tomato slices evenly between the sliced potato. Season lightly
 with salt and pepper, and heat the pan on top of the stove at medium-high
 heat until crackling noises are heard, about 1 1/2 minutes. Transfer the
 pan to the oven to bake until the slices are slightly crisp and the potato
 is tender when pierced with a knife, about 25 minutes. Remove, sprinkle on
 the Parmesan cheese and run the dish under the broiler just until the
 cheese is lightly colored, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, watching carefully. Remove
 and sprinkle on the parsley, and serve.
