Notes
- Even Sliced Potatoes. If you have a mandolin slicer, this recipe is the perfect time to use it so you can get thin, uniformly-sliced potatoes. If you don't have a mandolin, use a very sharp knife to control the cuts precisely. Always watch your fingers! This step is key to even cooking!
- Whisk Constantly. Whisk the entire time that you're making your cheese sauce so it doesn't stick or burn.
