Tips

  • Try to use equal sized potatoes.

  • Slice the potatoes in the same size and thickness so that the potatoes cook evenly. You can use a potato slicer for this.
  • You can add cheddar or parmesan cheese to the sauce. In this case, you turn the recipe into Potato Au Gratin. Grate 1-2 cups of cheese to add the sauce. If you wish, you can add the grated cheddar cheese in the last 15 minutes of the cooking time.
  • Sauteed onions add more flavor and texture to the dish. If you are going to use cooked onions, you can add to cream sauce. First, put 3 tablespoons of butter in the sauce pan. Add the onion and, if desired, a clove of garlic and spices. After sautéing the onions, add the flour, milk and cream.
  • Add 1 cup of ham in sauce. In this way, you can add different flavors to the food.
  • While arranging the potato slices in layers, season with a little salt and pepper.
  • Use aluminum foil during cooking. This will make the potatoes cook faster.
  • Half of the cooking time, remove the aluminum foil so that the bottom of the potatoes does not burn. Remember that the potatoes will continue to cook even after they come out of the oven.
  • You can cook the potatoes in a casserole.
