I shockingly manage to slice them all without opening an artery, and briefly cook them in a mix of cream and half-and-half, with a pinch of nutmeg, a sprig of thyme.

When the potato slices are pliable but still not cooked, I transfer them to the dish, discarding the sprig of thyme, and add enough of the cooking liquid to barely cover them. I pop it in the preheated oven, wondering how that soupy mess of potato and cream will come together into a sliceable dish.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Stacey Ballis" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/stacey-ballis/i-invested-in-a-fifteen-dollar-handheld-mandoline-knowing-that-my/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/6c6/stacey-ballis-6284_anneke-stroudt_i-invested-in-a-fifteen-dollar-handheld_942790.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/6c6/stacey-ballis-6284_anneke-stroudt_i-invested-in-a-fifteen-dollar-handheld_942790.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/6c6/stacey-ballis-6284_anneke-stroudt_i-invested-in-a-fifteen-dollar-handheld_942790.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“I invested in a fifteen-dollar handheld mandoline, knowing that my knife skills would never be good enough…” — Stacey Ballis", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } } ] }, { "@type": "CollectionPage", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/potato-slices/stacey-ballis/#webpage", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/potato-slices/stacey-ballis/", "name": "Potato Slices Quotes by Stacey Ballis", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#website" }, "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/potato-slices/stacey-ballis/#itemlist" }, "primaryImageOfPage": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/6c6/stacey-ballis-6284_anneke-stroudt_i-invested-in-a-fifteen-dollar-handheld_942790.jpg" }, "description": "1 Potato Slices quotes by Stacey Ballis.
