Tips & Tricks
Use a mandoline slicer to achieve uniformly thin potato slices for even cooking.
Do not rinse the potatoes after slicing, as the starch helps thicken the sauce.
For a golden crust, sprinkle additional Parmesan cheese on top before baking.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes after baking to allow the flavors to meld together.
