Instructions

1

Preheat the oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Preheating ensures even cooking throughout the casserole.

Grease a casserole dish with butter or cooking spray.

Greasing prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.

Slice the potatoes thinly and evenly.

Use a mandoline slicer for uniform slices.

10

Bake the casserole

Cover the dish with foil and bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes.

Covering prevents the top from over-browning.

11

Brown the top

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes to brown the top.

For a golden crust, broil for the last 2 minutes.

12

Rest and serve

Let the casserole rest for 20 minutes before serving.

Resting allows the layers to set for easier serving.
