Tips & Substitutions
For a crispier texture, soak the sliced potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before baking. If you want a healthier alternative, try using olive oil instead of butter. You can also substitute the Cheddar cheese with a lower-fat cheese or a dairy-free option to suit dietary needs. Adding spices like paprika or garlic powder can enhance the flavor profile.

Storage & Reheating
