Preparation

  2. Slice potatoes 1/8–1/4 inch thick. Use a mandoline for uniform slices, or a sharp knife.

  4. Continue cooking until edges are golden and centers are tender when pierced (10–14 minutes total depending on thickness).
  5. Transfer to a serving plate and taste for salt; adjust as needed.
