Once all of the liquid has been added, increase the heat to medium and bring to a boil while whisking.  Stir in ½ teaspoon salt and teaspoon pepper and let it boil for 1 minute.

To assemble the potatoes, layer of the potatoes in the prepared dish and season with ¼ teaspoon salt and teaspoon pepper. Pour of the cream sauce over top.
