Notes
Note 1: Use either Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes and slice potatoes ⅛ inch thick. If you do not have a Mandolin slicer, thinly slice potatoes after you peel them. Very important, if potatoes are thicker, you will need to increase baking time for the potatoes.
Note 2: Fat-free half-and-half can be swapped out for the light cream.
Note 3: I use a low-fat cheese when possible.
Note 4: If you prefer a Gluten-Free dish, use almond flour.
Note 5: Depending on how thick you sliced the potatoes, they may need more time. If they are sliced ⅛ inch, they should be cooked through.
Note 6: If you want to make ahead, make the day before and bake for one hour covered with foil. When ready to finish, cook another 20 minutes covered.
