6 Potatoes (medium, peeled, sliced)

4 oz Cheddar Cheese (grated)

4 tablespoons Butter

1/2 cup Fresh Bread Crumbs

1 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Grate the cheese; set aside.

Butter the baking dish; set aside.

Melt the butter; toss the fresh breadcrumbs in half of it and set aside; set the rest of the melted butter aside as well.

Start heating the oven.

Peel the potatoes, slice them thinly into a bowl and toss them with the salt and melted butter.

Arrange them evenly in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the cheese over the potatoes, then the bread crumbs over it all.

Pop into the oven and bake until the potatoes are tender, about 20 to 25 minutes.
