Scalloped Potatoes with Cheese

The dish can be assembled up to 24 hours ahead: layer potatoes, cheese, and bread crumbs in the baking dish, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and refrigerate. Pour the milk over just before baking, and add 10-15 minutes to the baking time since the dish will be cold.

Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave or reheat the entire dish covered with foil in a 350°F oven for 20-25 minutes. The texture will be softer than freshly baked but still flavorful. Not recommended for freezing as potatoes become grainy when thawed.
