Recipe Notes

Good To Know

  • For extra flavor depth, try adding a layer of caramelized onions or sautéed leeks between the potato slices before baking.
  • If you want a crispier, golden top, sprinkle a mixture of gluten-free panko breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan over the dish for the last 15 minutes of baking.
  • To save time on busy mornings, assemble the dish the night before, cover, and refrigerate—just bring to room temperature before baking.
  • For a spicy kick, layer in thinly sliced jalapeños or sprinkle a pinch of smoked paprika between potato layers.

Expert Tips

  • Use a mandoline slicer for evenly thin potato slices, ensuring even cooking.
  • For a richer flavor, substitute some of the milk or cream with sour cream or crème fraîche.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking dish. Leave some space between the potato slices for proper cooking and browning.

Storage Instructions

  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave until heated through.
