Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding garlic or bell peppers to the onion layer. If you don't have marjoram, thyme or oregano can serve as great substitutes. To cut down on prep time, you can use frozen sliced potatoes. Make sure to grease the pan well to prevent sticking, especially if using non-stick potatoes.
