Notes
- Note 1) Use a good quality, unsweetened fresh or heavy cream for making cheesy potatoes.
- Add salt cautiously to the cream sauce, as cheese has a salty flavour.
- In my 52 litres OTG, the Indian variety of potatoes takes 60 minutes at 180-degree celsius in the middle rack to get perfectly baked with a gooey sauce and a golden crust on top.
