Preheat oven to 375ðF (190ðC). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter.

Layer half of the thinly sliced potatoes in the prepared baking dish. Season with salt and pepper.

Spoon half of the onion-anchovy mixture over the potatoes. Pour half of the skim milk over the top.
-
Repeat with the remaining potatoes, onion mixture, and milk.

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.
