Notes
Use a mandoline slicer for even potato slices. Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese for added flavor. Adding garlic powder can enhance the taste, giving a more savory touch. If you have leftovers, let them cool completely, then cover tightly or transfer to an airtight container. They can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave.
