  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Spray a 9-inch springform pan with cooking spray and set it on a large rimmed baking sheet. Soak peeled potatoes in a large bowl of cold water for at least 15 minutes or up to 30 minutes.

  • Whisk together eggs, salt, and pepper in a large bowl until just lightened in color and foamy, about 1 minute. Whisk in flour, milk, chives, and baking powder; set aside until ready to use.

  • Drain potatoes and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel; using a mandoline, slice potatoes into 1/8-inch-thick slices and pat sliced potatoes dry.

  • Transfer 1/3 of potato mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan, firmly pressing down into a flat, even layer; sprinkle evenly with 1/2 of cheese mixture. Repeat layering 1 time, ending with potato mixture and gently pressing down in between each layer; leave excess egg mixture in the bowl and discard.
