Tips
- Ensure potatoes are sliced uniformly thin for even cooking and a creamy texture. Use a mandoline for best results.
- If the top is browning too quickly, you can loosely tent it with foil for the remainder of the cooking time.
- Serve hot as a delicious side dish or a vegetarian main course with a crisp green salad.
