How long can I store the leftover potato casserole?

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.

The recipe is already vegetarian as written. For a vegan version, use dairy-free cheese, vegan mayo, and an egg substitute like flaxseed meal or commercial vegan egg replacer.

Can I freeze this potato casserole for later?

What can I serve with this cheesy potato dish?

How can I make this recipe lower in carbs?

What's the best way to reheat leftovers without drying them out?

Cover with foil and reheat in a 350°F oven for 15-20 minutes, or microwave individual portions with a damp paper towel over them to retain moisture.

Can I make this recipe in an air fryer instead of an oven?

Yes! Cook in a smaller, air fryer-safe dish at 350°F for about 20-25 minutes, checking occasionally until golden and bubbly.

How do I prevent the potatoes from turning brown after grating?
