Note
For extra crispiness, switch the oven to broil for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking, watching closely to prevent burning.
Use leftover boiled potatoes for this recipe to save time. Ensure they are cooled before slicing for easier handling.
You can add a pinch of salt, pepper, or dried herbs like thyme or rosemary to the milk mixture for added flavor.
Serve immediately while hot and crispy. Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 2 days and reheated in the oven to restore some crispness.
