Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Place sliced potatoes in a large pot and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until just tender, approximately 10 minutes. Do not overcook.

Drain the potatoes and allow them to cool slightly before arranging them in a lightly greased 1 1/2-quart baking dish, overlapping them slightly for an even bake.
