Steps:
- Note: I have cooked these in an instant pot on high for 6 hours, a regular slow cooker or baked in the oven.
- Follow manufacturer instructions for other methods than using the oven.
- Preheat oven 375 degrees. Oil spray whatever cooking vessel your using. You will need at least a 3 to a 4-quart casserole dish.
- First wash, peel and slice the potatoes. (We like ours a little thicker so around 1/4 inch thick)
- In a small saucepan on medium heat, add the butter, saute the garlic until it is just soft around 30 seconds.
- Stir in the flour to make the roux and blend for another minute or so until the desired color is achieved around 1 minute, darker roux adds more flavor.
- Pour in the milk and stir until it gets thick.
- Pour in the cheeses, seasoning, fresh parsley, dried herbs and fold in the meat of choice, mix together.
- In your oil sprayed cooking vessel add the potatoes on one layer, then some cheese mixture, more potatoes then end with sauce.
- Garnish the top with more provolone (or cheddar if you prefer)cheese, then sprinkle the top with bread crumbs with more Parmesan grated evenly and chopped parsley.
- This will take at least an hour to cook or so, testing with a fork to see if the potatoes are soft.
- Note: If using a slow cooker or instant pot 6 to 8 hours on high adding 1/2 cup more milk to this recipe.

Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Use starchy potatoes like Russet or Yukon Gold for a creamy texture. Avoid waxy potatoes like Red Bliss or New Potatoes, as they will not hold their shape well.
- Slice the potatoes thinly and evenly: This will ensure that they cook evenly. Use a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife to get thin, uniform slices.
- Layer the potatoes in a greased baking dish: Overlapping the slices slightly will help them cook evenly and prevent them from drying out.
- Season each layer of potatoes: Sprinkle each layer with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. This will enhance the flavor of the dish.
- Use a flavorful cheese: A good melting cheese like mozzarella, cheddar, or Parmesan will add richness and flavor to the dish.
- Bake the potatoes until tender: The cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the potato slices and the type of oven you are using. Check the potatoes with a fork to make sure they are tender before removing them from the oven.
