Tips and Tricks
No. This casserole cooks in about an hour which is plenty of time to get the potatoes cooked through. Make sure you cut all of the pieces about the same size to promote even cooking.
There are a number of ways to make this a bit healthier. You can use jicama in place of the potatoes or sweet potatoes. You can also sub unsweetened, plain greek yogurt for the mayonnaise. These things will help lighten it up.
Yes! Cube them up and mix as written. Cut your cook time down to 30 minutes and all is well!
