Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter.
  2. In a skillet, melt the remaining butter over medium heat. Add sliced onions and cook until soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Add caraway seeds and anchovy fillets to the onions, stirring until the anchovies break down and dissolve into the mixture.
  4. Layer half of the thinly sliced potatoes in the prepared baking dish. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Spoon half of the onion-anchovy mixture over the potatoes. Pour half of the skim milk over the top.
  6. Repeat with the remaining potatoes, onion mixture, and milk.
  7. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
  8. Remove foil and sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the top. Bake uncovered for another 15-20 minutes until potatoes are tender and cheese is golden brown.

Note

For easier slicing, use a mandoline slicer for uniform potato thickness.

Let the casserole rest for 10 minutes before serving to allow it to set.

If you prefer a richer flavor, you can substitute skim milk with whole milk or half-and-half.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F until warmed through.
