Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Butter an 8×8 inch baking or oval gratin dish.
  • In a large bowl whisk the milk and salt.
  • Add the potatoes to the milk mixture and toss to combine.
  • Place half of the potatoes in the baking dish and sprinkle with half of the cheese.
  • Layer the remaining potatoes in the dish and pour any remaining milk over the potatoes.

Notes

To get uniform thickness on your potatoes, use a mandolin to slice them.
