Layer Potatoes and Meatballs

1. Can I make this dish ahead of time?
Yes! You can assemble the casserole a day ahead, cover it, and store it in the refrigerator. When you’re ready to bake, simply pop it in the oven and add a few extra minutes to the cooking time.

2. Can I use pre-made meatballs?
Absolutely. If you’re short on time, you can use store-bought frozen or pre-cooked meatballs. Just make sure to thaw them before layering them into the casserole.

3. How can I make this dish lighter?
To lighten up this casserole, use ground turkey or chicken for the meatballs, swap the heavy cream for low-fat milk, and reduce the amount of cheese. You can also add more vegetables to balance out the richness.

Russet potatoes or Yukon Golds are ideal for this recipe because they hold up well during baking and have a nice, creamy texture.
