Layer on more potatoes, then more sauce and more cheees...until your pan is full or you run out of potatoes.
|
|
Now we are going to top this off with more cheese. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Test the potatoes with a toothpick. If the tooth pick goes through easily then remove the foil. If the potatoes still feels a little hard recover with the foil and bake for a few more minutes. After removing the foil you will continue to bake for 10 more minutes so that the top browns.
