## Equipment

- mandoline or slicing blade of a food processor
- small saucepan
- whisk
- baking dish

## Tips

- Substitute Gruyere or for the blue cheese, if you like.
- Use a mandoline or the slicing blade of a food processor to easily create uniformly thin potato slices.
- To be on the safe side I recommend making a taste test after 40 minutes and bake it for a few more minutes when it’s not quite done yet.
- The potatoes should still have a bit of a bite to them and not be mushy!
