Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
In a large pan, saute onions and celery in 3 T. olive oil until softened and lightly browned.
Add garlic and cook for another minute or two.
Add tomatoes and juice, thyme, rosemary, saffron, black pepper, and salt. Cook on very low heat for about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and reserve.
Rub the remaining 1 T. olive oil on the bottom of a 9 x 13 inch baking dish. Top with a layer of half of the potatoes followed by half of the tomato mixture and then half of the cheese. Repeat with the remaining potatoes, tomato mixture, and cheese.
Bake for about 45 minutes or until the potatoes are tender when poked with a fork.
