"We're vegetarians, so I like to serve this aromatic potato and peppers gratin as a main dish with a green salad, but it also goes well with roasted chicken," says Evelyn Plyler of Apple Valley, California.

2 pounds potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
1 each medium green, sweet red and yellow pepper, julienned

In a 2-qt. baking dish coated with cooking spray, arrange a third of the potatoes in overlapping rows. Top with half of the pepper. Combine the thyme, salt and pepper; sprinkle a third over peppers. Sprinkle with a third of the Parmesan cheese and 2 teaspoons oil. Repeat layers.
