Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for the baking dish

Quick Tip
The potatoes can be prepared (but not baked) up to 2 days in advance; refrigerate, covered. Bring to room temperature, then
bake at 375° F, covered with buttered foil, until bubbling, 20 to 25 minutes. Uncover and bake until the top is golden brown,
20 to 25 minutes more. (Alternatively, prepare them up to 1 month in advance; freeze, tightly wrapped, and thaw before continuing
as with refrigerated potatoes.)
