Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the sauce to settle slightly. Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley on top for a burst of color and freshness. Serve warm as a main or side dish alongside roasted meats, grilled vegetables, or a crisp green salad.
Tips
- For the best texture, slice potatoes evenly—using a mandoline ensures consistent thinness for uniform cooking.
- Swap half the cheddar for Gruyère or Monterey Jack for a richer, more complex flavor.
- If using cream instead of milk, reduce butter slightly to maintain a balanced richness.
- Leftovers can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven until warm and bubbly.
