Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry sliced potatoes for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown, then remove and set aside.
  2. Sauté diced onion and minced garlic in the same skillet for 2-3 minutes until translucent. Add ground beef or turkey, cooking until browned (5-7 minutes). Stir in tomato sauce, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper; let simmer for 5 minutes.
  3. Assemble the lasagna by layering crispy fried potatoes at the bottom, followed by meat sauce and a sprinkle of cheeses. Repeat layers, finishing with cheese on top.
  4. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly, and potatoes are tender.
  5. Let the lasagna rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with parsley or basil, slice, and serve warm.
