Recipe Tips

To save time, you can slice the potatoes and prepare the sauce the night before and store them separately in the refrigerator. In the morning, simply combine the two in the crock pot and start cooking. If you prefer a thicker sauce, try increasing the amount of flour in the recipe or using a slotted spoon to remove some of the excess liquid before adding the cheese. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 1 month. Simply reheat in the microwave or oven for a quick and easy meal.
