  1. How thick do you slice the potato? The recipe gives no clue. From the photo it looks like they’re about a half-inch thick, but it’s hard to tell.

  2. I’m having a party and was wondering if you can bake the potatoes ahead and dress them last minute?

    1. Liza,

      To be honest, I’ve never tried making them in advance so I’m not sure how they would turn out. If you give it a try, please let me know how it goes.
