Description
- In a large pot, boil the potatoes in salted water until they are tender but firm, approximately 15-20 minutes. Then, drain them and let them cool.
- While the potatoes are cooling, in a large bowl, mix the drained tuna with mayonnaise, chopped onion, and habanero pepper. Add salt and pepper to taste. Ensure the mixture is well combined and set aside.
- Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, peel and slice them into approximately 1/4-inch thick rounds.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
- In an oven-safe dish, place a layer of potato slices on the bottom.
- Add a layer of the tuna mixture over the potatoes and sprinkle a portion of the grated cheese.
- Repeat the process, alternating layers of potatoes, tuna mixture, and cheese until the dish is full, finishing with a layer of cheese on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the tuna and potato gratin is heated through in the center.
- Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Now you have an enhanced recipe for a deliciously gratinated tuna and potato dish with a spicy kick!
