Baking
- Place the sliced potatoes in a 9 x 13-inch baking dish.

Notes
Use a wooden spoon handle when slicing the potatoes to avoid cutting all the way through. For more flavor, consider adding grated cheese on top during the last 10-15 minutes of roasting. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
