Steps

  1. Prep potatoes and eggplant Preheat oven to 230oC. Bring a small pot of salted water to the boil. Slice potatoes and eggplant 1cm and place separately on two lined oven trays. Drizzle with oil and season.
  2. Cook potatoes and eggplant Bake potatoes in oven for about 20-25 minutes, until golden and tender. Turn halfway through cooking time. When 3 minutes cook time remains, sprinkle with cheese and continue cooking until cheese is melted. Bake eggplant on rack below potatoes for about 20 minutes, turning halfway through cooking time.
