Notes
- Slice the potatoes into even slices so they cool evenly. If you have a mandoline slicer, this is the perfect time to use it.
- You can also use Yukon gold or red potatoes if that's what you have on hand, or a mixture; just use what you have.
- While cheddar is a classic choice, you could also use a mix of cheeses like gouda or gruyere. Just be sure to choose cheeses that melt well.
- Swap the chicken broth for vegetable broth or water to make this recipe vegetarian.
- Add 2 cups of diced ham to the potato layers to take this from a side dish to a main course.
