Notes
Potatoes: this recipe has been updated to call for thinly sliced potatoes (I would recommend a mandolin set to 1/10 of an inch on the mandolin setting). If you hand-cut your potatoes they will most likely be thicker and, as a result, need a longer cook time.
Storage: store leftover in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
