Notes

  • You can substitute cream of mushroom soup with cream of celery for a lighter flavor.
  • Using frozen potatoes may require a few extra minutes of bake time; check for tenderness with a fork.
  • Let the casserole rest for 5–10 minutes before serving for easier slicing.
  • For a crunchier top, broil for the last 1–2 minutes watched carefully.
