About this Recipe
By: Christina Hills
Lasagna feels so much like an American dish, I don’t know if this should be categorized as Italian or American!
This is the recipe for my potato lasagna that I adapted from a you tube video. You can get many of the ingredients from Trader Joe’s. If that is where you shop. I got the idea from this video on YouTube (but I don’t add spinach). Scroll below to see the video
I really like the Pomi brand of tomatoes for the top of the lazagna, but you can use anything.
Ingredients Notes
