Using a handheld mandolin, slice the potato into thin slices, rotating the potato to get even slices.

Continue slicing until the entire potato is sliced, using a protective piece for the last slices if necessary.

Layer the potato slices in the bottom of the pan, overlapping them to minimize open spots.

Pour about 3 tablespoons of milk over the potato layer.

Drizzle a little more flavorless oil over the top of the potatoes.

Sprinkle 2-3 tablespoons of cheese over the top of the layered potatoes.
