For extra flavor, consider adding a clove of minced garlic to the milk before pouring it over the potatoes. Ensure the potatoes are sliced uniformly for even cooking. If the top browns too quickly, tent the dish with foil during the last 20 minutes of baking. A mandoline can be useful for achieving consistently thin potato slices. Letting the gratin rest before serving allows it to set up properly, making it easier to serve.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 2-quart casserole dish with 2 tablespoons butter and set aside. (5 minutes)
02
StepPeel potatoes and cut at a 45-degree angle into 1/4-inch thick round slices. (15 minutes)
03
StepArrange 1/3 of the potato slices in an even layer in the bottom of the prepared dish. Season the layer very generously with salt, and sparingly with the freshly ground black pepper, and cayenne, if using. Top evenly with 1/3 of the Cheddar cheese. Repeat this process two more times for a total of three layers of potatoes, except for the last third of the cheese. Slowly and carefully pour in the milk, without upsetting the layers. The milk should almost, but not quite, cover the potatoes. (20 minutes)
04
StepTop with remaining Cheddar cheese and place the casserole dish on a sheet pan to catch any drips. (5 minutes)
05
StepBake in the center of the preheated oven until potatoes are tender and the top is well browned and bubbling, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. (75 minutes)
06
StepLet rest for 10 minutes before serving. (10 minutes)
