The ubiquitous seneyet batates is the simple, affordable Egyptian potato bake made in almost every home. The classic recipe uses only potatoes, sliced in thin rounds and baked in tomato sauce. At the Nile Delta lunch we attended, our hosts made a vegetable-loaded version of the potato bake, adding courgettes and red (bell) peppers to the mix.
