Notes

For best results, ensure the potato slices are evenly thin to promote even cooking. Feel free to add extra cheese if you prefer a richer flavor. You can also try adding a pinch of nutmeg to the sauce for a hint of warmth. Adjust the seasoning to taste and serve with a sprinkle of fresh chives for a pop of color.
