Ingredients

2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, sliced thin
1 quart buttermilk
5 tablespoons kosher salt
3 tablespoons freshly ground black pepper
1 (16 ounce) package sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x12 inch glass or ceramic dish with olive oil.
Layer potatoes on the bottom of the dish. Pour 1/3 of the buttermilk over the potatoes and sprinkle with 1/3 of the salt, pepper and cheese. Repeat 2 more times, ending with cheese on top.
Bake in preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until hot, bubbly and golden brown.

Tips

This recipe calls for kosher salt, not table salt. If you would like to substitute table salt, you will need only a fraction of the salt called for; season to taste.

Using a food processor to slice the potatoes will make it easier to achieve very thin slices. Remember, thicker slices will take longer to cook
