Tips:
- Russet potatoes are the best choice for this recipe because they hold their shape well when baked.
- To make sure the potatoes are cooked evenly, slice them to a uniform thickness. If the potato slices are too thick, they may not cook all the way through.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when baking the potatoes. If the potatoes are too close together, they will not cook evenly.
- Use a good quality cheese that melts well. A sharp cheddar or Gruyère cheese is a good choice.
- If you don't have heavy cream, you can use milk instead. However, the sauce will be thinner.
- Top the pizza with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include bacon, ham, sausage, onions, and peppers.
