Introduction
Inexpensive ingredients combine to make a delicious-- and filling-- dinner for 4. This is also kid-friendly-- the potatoes make a base for the tomatoes and mozzarella that are very comfort-foody, while being healthy. This is lighter if you use whole wheat pastry flour in the recipe instead of regular whole wheat flour. We also leave the peels on the potatoes (it's faster that way, and more nutritious), but if you prefer the texture, you can always peel the potatoes first.

1/8 tsp. salt
1 large egg
