Ingredients

1 kilo waxy potatoes, washed, peeled, very thinly sliced and patted dry
150 g butter, melted
salt
freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Preparation

Preparation

Preheat oven to 160ºC.

Generously grease the bottom of an ovenproof pan or baking dish with 30 g of melted butter.

In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, add remaining butter and cheese cubes. Stir until cheese melts.

Arrange potato slices in the pan overlapping each other, brushing with butter/cheese mixture. Season with salt and pepper as you go.

Cover with greaseproof paper or lid and bake for 45 minutes to an hour. Test with a skewer to see if potatoes are tender.

At this point, serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to use.
