  6. Layer the potato slices in the baking dish and pour the creamy mixture over them.
  7. Cover with foil and bake for approximately 40 minutes.
  8. Remove foil, top with remaining cheeses, and bake uncovered for another 30 minutes until golden brown.
  9. Let cool slightly before serving; garnish with fresh chives.
