Instructions

Notes
-
- If you don’t have a large saute pan that can go from the stove top to the oven, just transfer everything to a 9×13 pan, top with cheese, and bake!
- Use freshly grated cheese for the creamiest melt and best flavor.
- Make sure to cover the casserole tightly with foil so the potatoes cook evenly.
- For extra flavor, try adding sautéed mushrooms, bell peppers, or spinach to the mixture.
- If using fresh diced potatoes, parboil them for 5-7 minutes before adding to the casserole.
