The potato slices are then added to the pan, and the sauce is brought to a simmer for about 15 minutes- until the potatoes are tender.
Then the potatoes and sauce are transferred to a small baking dish. Swiss and Parmesan cheeses are sprinkled on top, and it is baked for 45 minutes.
This Scalloped Potatoes with Peppers and Swiss Cheese recipe will turn out to have a crisp, cheese layer on top and tender potatoes on the bottom.
