š„ Tips & Variations
- Faster version: Use pre-cooked potato slices or frozen hash browns (thin layer).
- Extra flavor: Add sautƩed mushrooms, spinach, or roasted red peppers.
- Creamier: Add ½ cup cream to the sauce.
- Low-carb: Swap potatoes for thin zucchini slices.
If you want, I can also give a one-pan, minimal prep version thatās cheesy, golden, and ready in under an hourāno boiling or pre-cooking required.
