For a richer flavor, try using Gruyere or Fontina cheese in place of or in addition to the Cheddar. If you prefer a creamier sauce, use whole milk or add a splash of heavy cream. Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to suit your spice preference. A pinch goes a long way! Ensure the potatoes are sliced thinly and evenly to ensure they cook through properly. If you don't have microwave, you can cook the sauce in a saucepan on the stovetop over medium heat, whisking constantly.
