Recipe Tips

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover potatoes. If you have leftover cooked potatoes, you can reduce the cooking time to 5 minutes. You can also use frozen potatoes in this recipe, but the cooking time will need to be increased to 15 minutes.

For a lighter version, you can substitute the heavy cream with milk and reduce the amount of cheese. You can also add other vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, or even mushrooms to the potatoes.

This recipe is also perfect for meal prepping. Once cooked, the potatoes can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. To reheat, place the potatoes in a baking dish and heat in the oven at 350°F for 15 minutes.
