STEP 7

PLACE the sliced potatoes in a large bowl and pour on the thick cheese sauce and stir until combined.

STEP 8

TRANSFER the potatoes and cream to a lauvacs® Bakeware Casserole pan.

STEP 9

SPRINKLE on the breadcrumbs to cover the top of the potatoes.

STEP 10

BAKE the potatoes on 375° for 60 minutes or until golden brown on top and the potatoes are soft.
