Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees
• Generously oil the gratin dish. Make a layer of potatoes, a layer of onions and a layer of tomatoes in the baking dish, sprinkling each layer with a little of the salt and pepper and drizzling each layer with 1/2 tablespoon of the olive oil. Repeat with another layer of potatoes, onions and tomatoes, again sprinkling each with a little of the salt and pepper and drizzling each with 1/2 tablespoon of the olive oil.
• Combine the Pecorino Romano, bread crumbs and oregano in a bowl.
• Bake in the preheated oven for about an hour or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a knife. After 50 minutes of cooking, top with the Pecorino Romano, bread crumbs and oregano and the remaining 5 tablespoons of olive oil. Continue cooking until the potatoes are cooked and the bread crumbs are brown and crispy. Serve immediately.

Spoon over the remaining olive oil and bake in the oven and back in the oven for about 20 minutes, until the topping is brown and crispy. Serve immidiately.
