Wash and slice potatoes thinly (about 1/8–1/4 inch thick) for even cooking.
Arrange sliced potatoes evenly in the dish. Season with salt and pepper.
Dot butter pieces across the potatoes, letting them melt into every layer.
Warm the gravy slightly, then pour evenly over the potatoes so it seeps between slices.
Cover with foil and bake for 45–55 minutes until potatoes are tender.
Remove foil and bake another 10–15 minutes until bubbly and lightly browned.
Let sit for 10 minutes before serving for the perfect texture.
