Note
For a richer texture, stir in a splash of milk or cream with the potatoes before baking.
You can substitute canned tuna with cooked fresh tuna or salmon for a different flavor profile.
Add grated cheese on top during the last 5 minutes of baking for a crispy, cheesy crust.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave.
Ensure the tuna is well-drained to prevent the bake from becoming watery.
