- Bake in the preheated oven 30 minutes, or until the topping is lightly brown.
Footnotes
- Editor's Note:
- The Allrecipes magazine team, in preparing this recipe, came upon some alterations for this dish leading to a version they preferred, which is shared in the October/November 2014 issue. If you do not have that issue available to you, just triple the measures of the potato mixture ingredients above while leaving the topping measures as they are listed.
- Tip
- Aluminum foil can be used to keep food moist, cook it evenly, and make clean-up easier.
