- 1/4 tsp. rosemary
- 2 tbsp. parsley
- 3-4 tbsp. olive oil
Instructions

Notes
NOTE: If you need to make up the casserole ahead of time you can blanch the potatoes about 3 minutes and then place all the ingredients (except the final toppings) into a baking dish. Cover and refrigerate until ready to bake.
NOTE: You can also drizzle the olive oil over the top of the casserole before baking, rather than adding it in with the other ingredients.
NOTE: Mixture is thick, not goopy or creamy. Don’t worry. Once all the cheese melts, it has a wonderful texture.
