Frequently asked questions
Good questions, answered.
How do I get the potatoes to cook evenly?
Slice them thin and uniform, about 1/8-inch thick, so they cook through in the baking time.
Can I assemble this ahead?
Yes, assemble and refrigerate up to a day ahead, then bake, adding about 10 extra minutes if going in cold.
