FAQ
Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
Yes, you can assemble the dish a day ahead and store it in the fridge until you’re ready to bake. Simply cover it with foil and bake as directed.
Can I use sweet potatoes instead of russet potatoes?
Absolutely! Sweet potatoes add a different flavor and texture, making the dish a little sweeter. Follow the same instructions but reduce the boiling time slightly, as sweet potatoes tend to cook faster.
How do I avoid mushy potatoes?
Be sure not to overcook the potatoes during the boiling step. You want them to be fork-tender but still firm enough to hold their shape when baked.
