Notes
Test the potatoes in the casserole around the 40 minute mark. Use a fork to carefully spear a couple pieces and taste them to see if they are cooked through. You want them to be fork tender but not mushy. All ovens cook differently and sometimes even the baking dish can make a difference so I like to start checking around 40 minutes and then check every 5 minutes or so after that. 50 minutes is usually the sweet spot for my oven and this enameled cast iron pan.
Try topping the casserole with different flavored potato chips for a little twist on the old classic. Jalapeno cheddar chips would give it a little spice but keep with the cheesy theme. Salt and vinegar chips will add a little tang that would balance out the creaminess of the dish really well. Barbecue chips would add a sweet and smokey spicy to the dish as well!
If you don’t have a pan that can go in the oven, just transfer the cheesy potato casserole mixture to an oven safe baking dish. That’s why I love my enameled cast iron pan because it can easily go from stove top to oven to the dining room table!
