Notes
For extra flavor, you can add some grated Parmesan cheese on top before baking. Make sure to slice the potatoes evenly to ensure they cook uniformly. If you want a thicker sauce, use less milk and cream or add a bit of flour to the cream mixture. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
