Baked potato with tomato

Baked potato with tomato is a traditional dish that has won over the palates of various regions in Latin America. Its origin dates back to the blend of European culinary techniques with native American ingredients, especially the potato, one of the most consumed tubers in the region. In countries like Mexico, this recipe can be found with some variations and names like "potato and tomato pie," while in other South American countries it is simply known as "au gratin potato" or "potato and tomato tart." This delicious dish combines the softness and texture of the potato with the fresh and juicy flavor of the tomato, enhanced by the cheese and eggs that give it a creamy consistency and an irresistible golden finish.

It is a versatile recipe that can be served both as a side dish for family dinners and as a main course at special gatherings. Its relatively simple preparation and the availability of its ingredients make it a classic in Latin American home cooking.
