Hints & Tips

  • Use starchy potatoes – Varieties like Agria or Russet work best for a creamy, soft texture.
  • Add garlic – Layer in a little minced garlic for extra flavour.
  • Cheese variety – Try a mix of cheeses like cheddar and mozzarella for a richer flavour and texture.
  • Cover then uncover – Bake covered for the first 40 minutes, then uncover to brown the top.
  • Make ahead – Assemble the bake ahead of time and refrigerate; bake when ready to serve.
