Notes
One thing to remember the cooking time is going to vary depending on the depth of your dish and the how thin you slice your potatoes. I have made this in a 9X13 and it took about an hour. I cooked it in a 2 quart dish and it took an hour and 20 minutes. So definitely CHECK to make sure your potatoes are cooked through.
