Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are great options for this dish. They hold their shape well and become tender when cooked.
  • Slice the potatoes thinly: This will help them cook evenly and become crispy on the edges.
  • Use a good quality cheese: Fontina cheese is a classic choice for this dish, but you can also use Gruyère, Parmesan, or a blend of cheeses.
  • Season the potatoes well: Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are essential seasonings for this dish. You can also add other herbs and spices to taste.
  • Cook the potatoes until they are tender: This will take about 30 minutes in the oven. You can check them by inserting a knife into the center of a potato. If it goes in easily, the potatoes are done.
  • Broil the potatoes until they are golden brown: This will give them a crispy topping.
