Notes
- If you have leftover potatoes your total time will reduce significantly. Similarly, if you have a large pan you will make fewer batches and thereby also reduce the total time.
- Because sliced cooked potatoes can have the tendency to fall apart when sliced too thinly, generally if cooked potatoes are used I will slice them thicker (about 7 millimeters/0.3 inches) than when I am using raw potatoes.
- If there are any bits of potatoes that break apart while slicing, save them for a potato salad or for these smashed potatoes.
- You can also parboil the potatoes and this recipe will still work well.
