Notes

Storage and reheating instructions:

Store any leftovers by using an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

I do not recommend freezing this casserole as the potatoes can become mushy when it thaws. If you must freeze it allow to cool and use a freezer-safe container to freeze for up to 3 months.

Thaw in the fridge overnight before baking.

Reheat in the oven at 350°F until warmed through or reheat single servings in a microwave-safe dish in the microwave with 30 second intervals until warmed through.
