FAQs
Absolutely! While red potatoes bring a delightful creaminess, feel free to experiment with other varieties like Yukon Gold or russet for a unique twist.
While the dish is best enjoyed fresh out of the oven for that perfect crispiness, you can prepare it a few hours in advance and reheat it in the oven before serving to regain some of its original texture.
Of course! Skip the bacon, and consider adding a dash of smoked paprika or your favorite herbs for a flavorful vegetarian alternative.
