â…” cup buttermilk

3½ pounds russet potatoes (~4 large baking potatoes)

6 tablespoons Parmesan Cheese, shredded

2. Place onions on a microwave safe plate and cook for about 4 minutes in the microwave until soft.

4. Peel all potatoes. Slice each very thin by hand or use a mandolin. Arrange 2 layers of slices on the pan. Start at the edge and work in, overlapping slightly. Press down on potatoes then spread with about â…“ of cheese mixture. Season with salt and pepper and 2 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese. Layer remaining potatoes and cheese 2 more times, ending with cheese mixture. Season with a little salt and pepper and top with remaining Parmesan cheese (It made be made to this point, covered and refrigerated up to 1 day ahead).

6. Cover pan with foil and place on foil-lined pan because it tends to leak while cooking. Bake until potatoes are tender, about 1¼ hours. Remove foil cover and continue baking until cheese is golden brown, about 30 minutes.

7. Remove from oven and let rest for at least 30 minutes before removing from pan. Un-mold and cut into 10 slices.
