Variations & Substitutions

  • Baked Potatoes: Instead of boiling potatoes, you can use a baked potato that you peel off the skins. Using leftover baked potatoes is a great way to repurpose them and save time.
  • Green Onions: If green onions are not your thing, you could use chives as a substitute. Chives have a similar flavor profile and will work just as well.
  • Sour Cream: If you’re looking for a lighter option, you could use 8 ounces of cream cheese and 1 cup of milk instead of 2 cups of sour cream. This substitution will create a creamy and lighter casserole that’s still packed with flavor.
  • Cheese: For the best flavor, it’s recommended to use sharp cheddar cheese, but you can always experiment with your favorite cheese to create a unique flavor profile. The options are endless!

Tips & Tricks

  • To ensure that your potatoes are tender and easy to mash, make sure to simmer them in the chicken broth for 15-20 minutes.
  • For the best flavor and texture, we recommend using russet potatoes.
  • To make the casserole creamier, try using cream cheese and milk instead of sour cream.
  • Make sure to let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to settle.
