💡 Amira's Tips

• You can use any potatoes you like, Idaho potatoes is what I've used for this recipe but red potatoes work great.
• Try this dish with baby potatoes or sweet potatoes too.
• Add a dash of Cayenne peppers for some heat.

🧺 Storage

Leftover chicken potato bake can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 4 days.

⌛ Make Ahead

• Chop both chicken and potato and season and keep each in a separate bag or container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Bake as directed.
• Alternatively, you can bake the casserole without the cheese cover tightly and refrigerate for up to two days. When ready to serve, reheat in the oven then add the cheese and follow instructions.
