Note

This recipe includes chicken broth and parmesan cheese, making it non-vegan despite the tag. For a vegan version, substitute vegetable broth and omit the parmesan or use a vegan cheese alternative.

Use a mandoline slicer for uniform 1/4" potato slices to ensure even cooking.

Fresh thyme is preferred, but dried thyme can be substituted at half the amount.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F until warmed through.
