Important Recipe Notes
- You can use pre-shredded cheese to save time, but shredding a block of cheese gives you the creamiest melt.
- If you want extra flavor, try mixing in some cooked bacon, diced ham, or green onions.
- Make sure to stir the potatoes halfway through cooking so everything cooks evenly.
- You can swap cream of chicken soup for cream of mushroom or cream of celery if you prefer.
