- Lay them in a 9 x 9 inch baking pan that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.

- Pour the sauce over the potatoes, and garnish with salt, pepper, and extra cheese.

Notes
- For this recipe, I used just regular russet potatoes. However, you could use sweet potatoes, red potatoes, Yukon gold potatoes, or potato fingerlings - any thing would work.
- This is a great Thanksgiving side dish!
- Try to cut all the potatoes the same width so that they cook evenly. The thinner you slice the potatoes, the less time it will take to cook. Start checking the potatoes after 25 minutes of cooking to see if they are done.
