Notes

  • Slice the potatoes thinly for even cooking.
  • Use a mandoline if you want very even slices.
  • If the top browns too fast, cover loosely with foil.
  • Let the dish rest before serving so the sauce sets.
  • Use sharp cheddar for stronger flavor.
  • Add a little extra milk if the sauce becomes too thick before baking.
