Recipe Notes
1.To cut down on the baking time I just usually boil the potatoes in salted water, until they are cooked but still firm.Then remove from the heat and strain out the water.They should still be in slices and not broken into pieces. It should not be completely cooked, because it will continue cooking when you put it into the oven with the cream sauce.
