  • Yield

    Serves 6

Ingredients

2 1/2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled, cut into 1/8-inch-thick slices
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, melted
2 cups (packed) freshly grated Parmesan cheese (about 10 ounces)
2 cups whole milk

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F. Butter 13 x 9 x 2-inch glass baking dish. Layer 1/3 of potatoes evenly in prepared dish. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Drizzle with 1/3 of melted butter. Top with 1/3 of Parmesan cheese. Repeat layering twice more with remaining potatoes, butter and Parmesan cheese. Pour milk evenly over.
