How to Make Potato Au Gratin Bordeaux Region

Peel and thinly slice 1 kg potatoes to approximately 3-5mm thickness.
Place potatoes in a large saucepan, cover with cold water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 7-10 minutes, or until just tender. Do not overcook.
Grease a 25x25 cm square baking dish with 2 tablespoons of butter.
Drain the potatoes thoroughly and transfer them to the prepared baking dish. Let cool for 20 minutes.
While potatoes cool, prepare the sauce (see ingredient list for details). Pour the sauce evenly over the almost-cold potatoes.
Dot the top with an additional 1 tablespoon of butter, if desired.
Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
