Ingredients

▢ 8 small potatoes thinly sliced for even cooking

Warm the oven to 350°F to prepare for baking.

Peel and thinly slice the potatoes, keeping pieces uniform.
Stir together the cream of mushroom soup, milk, and light seasoning in a bowl until smooth.
Grease a 9×13 dish with nonstick spray.
