Brush with oil, and sprinkle potatoes with one teaspoon rosemary and one-third minced garlic. Season with salt and pepper if desired.

Step 4

Spread one cup swiss chard over potatoes and sprinkle with 1/4 cup chopped onion and one ounce crumbled blue cheese. Arrange another layer of potatoes on chard, and press down on potatoes to flatten layers.
