Tips:

For a crispy potato crust, make sure the potatoes are sliced thinly and evenly.
If you don't have a mandoline, you can use a sharp knife to slice the potatoes.
Be sure to rinse the potatoes well after slicing to remove any excess starch.
To prevent the potatoes from sticking to the pan, use a non-stick skillet or grease the pan with cooking spray.
Cook the potatoes over medium heat so that they have time to cook through without burning.
If you're using a cast iron skillet, preheat it over medium heat for 5 minutes before adding the potatoes.
Don't overcrowd the pan with potatoes. Cook them in batches if necessary.
Season the potatoes with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste.
For a cheesy potato casserole, add a layer of shredded cheese between the layers of potatoes.
Top the casserole with a mixture of breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese for a golden brown crust.

Conclusion:

Moroccan potato casserole is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a main course or a side dish. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its crispy potato crust, flavorful sauce, and tender vegetables, this casserole is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
