Note

Storage: Cover leftovers and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave.

Substitutions: Use butter instead of margarine for a richer flavor. Vegetable broth can replace chicken broth for a vegetarian version.

Tips: Ensure potatoes are sliced uniformly for even cooking. If potatoes are thick, increase baking time slightly.

Variations: Add diced ham or bacon for a heartier meal. Try using Gruyère instead of Swiss cheese for a nuttier flavor.
