Note

Ensure the milk is warm before adding it to the potatoes to maintain a smooth, hot consistency.

For a richer texture, you can substitute some of the milk with butter or olive oil.

Freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano melts better and tastes superior to pre-shredded cheese.

These potatoes are best served immediately but can be reheated gently with a splash of milk to restore creaminess.

Adjust salt and pepper to taste, keeping in mind that the cheese adds significant saltiness.
