Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider using Yukon Gold or red potatoes as they hold up well in the slow cooker. You can substitute the cream of celery soup with cream of mushroom soup for a different taste. If you prefer a richer flavor, add some garlic powder or use a mix of cheeses, such as cheddar and Gruyère. This dish pairs beautifully with American recipes like Breakfast Quiche.
