Secret Tips
Par-cook the potatoes in the microwave or stove for 3–5 minutes to guarantee they soften in the oven.
Season in layers-don’t just rely on the sauce. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to each potato layer for balanced flavor.
Use a mix of cheddar and mozzarella for that gooey cheese pull on top.
Let it rest 10 minutes before serving-trust me, it tastes better when the flavors settle!
