Main Ingredients

2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced Ensure potatoes are sliced thinly for even cooking.
8 ounces Velveeta, cut into small cubes Can substitute with another cheese if preferred.
2 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces For a richer flavor.
1.5 cups milk Pour evenly over the top of the casserole.

Method

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and lightly butter a medium casserole dish.
Layer half of the sliced potatoes in the dish, then scatter over half of the Velveeta cubes and half of the butter pieces.
Repeat with the remaining potatoes, Velveeta, and butter to make a second layer.
Pour the milk evenly over the top of the casserole.
Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake for 45 minutes.
Remove the foil and continue baking for 25 to 35 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is bubbling and browned around the edges.
Let the casserole rest for 10 minutes before serving so the sauce thickens slightly and the layers set up.

Notes

Serve warm, pairs well with a side salad or steamed vegetables. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days or frozen for up to two months.
