Notes
NOTE: You must slice the potatoes very thinly. Otherwise, it may take two hours or even longer for the potatoes to cook thoroughly.NOTE: You will actually have to taste some of the potatoes to determine tenderness. Sometimes they will appear to be fork-tender, but they are still not cooked all the way through.NOTE: You can also use Yukon gold or any other kind of potato, but those potatoes will have to be peeled.
