Notes
- You can use sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes for a different flavor profile.
- Feel free to add diced onions or bell peppers with the potatoes for extra taste and color.
- For a spicier version, sprinkle some red pepper flakes or hot sauce before serving.
- Use non-stick skillet for easier cooking and cleanup.
- To make it vegetarian-friendly, ensure the cheese is free from animal rennet if your dietary preferences require it.
