  7. Add grated Parmesan cheese and stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.

  8. In a greased baking dish, layer thinly sliced potatoes.

  9. Pour a portion of the creamy garlic and Parmesan sauce over the potatoes.

  10. Repeat the layering process until all the potatoes and sauce are used, finishing with a layer of sauce on top.

  11. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.

  12. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the potatoes are tender.

  13. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving.

  14. Garnish with fresh parsley.

Tip of the Day

“Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!

Tombstone’s French Fry Crust Pizza Just Got a New Flavor — And It’s Dividing the Internet

The potato-based crust on this pizza is a genuinely interesting swap for gluten-free eaters — it provides a crunchier, more satisfying texture than many traditional GF pizza crusts without wheat. At 300 calories per serving and 550mg of sodium, it’s worth being mindful of portion size, as the sodium adds up across multiple slices. Pairing a couple of slices with a large green salad or roasted vegetables rounds out the meal with fiber and nutrients that the pizza itself doesn’t provide. And if you’re adding extra cheese as reviewers recommend — which is very valid — opt for a lighter hand to keep the overall sodium and fat in check.
