FAQs
No, the majority of our potato bake recipes simply require you to slice your potatoes thinly before layering them with other ingredients and baking.
Potato bakes generally take upwards of an hour to cook, but this can differ from recipe to recipe, so make sure you double check the cook times before you set and forget.
