Advice
Choose starchy potatoes like Yukon Gold, Russet, or Idaho for best results. These varieties hold their shape well when sliced and baked, creating a creamy, satisfying texture.
The potatoes should be sliced evenly . Aim for slices that are about 1/8 to ¼ inch thick. This ensures even cooking and allows the creamy sauce to soak into each layer.
Use whole milk for a thicker, creamier sauce.
For an extra layer of savory flavor, consider adding a touch of minced garlic to the cream mixture.
What is the difference between baked potatoes and sunflower au gratin potatoes?
The main difference is the cheese! Sunflower potato pastries are traditionally made without cheese , while au gratin potatoes have cheese on all layers or sprinkled on top.
