Notes
Make sure to cut the potato slices evenly to ensure they cook at the same rate. Experiment with different cheeses, such as Pepper Jack or Mozzarella, for varied flavors. Feel free to add other toppings like jalapeños or diced tomatoes for extra flavor and color. If you have leftovers, store the cooled slices in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the slices on a baking sheet and warm them in the oven until they are hot and crispy again.
