Crisp Oven-Browned PotatoesMikkel Vang

In an attempt to simplify hash browns, we spread superthin slices of buttered Yukon Golds in a casserole and baked them in the oven. They came out equal parts tender spuds and crisp golden top—a delicious cross between scalloped potatoes and homemade chips.

Cooks note:

Potatoes can be baked 2 hours ahead and kept at room temperature. Reheat, loosely covered with foil, in a 250°F oven.
