Notes

Use Yukon Gold potatoes for the best texture. Make it ahead by assembling a day in advance and refrigerating. Add bacon for extra flavor. Try cream of mushroom soup for a vegetarian version or spice it up with cayenne. For different toppings, use Ritz crackers, panko, or French fried onions.
