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.
 
NOTE: You can make your own homemade Ranch Dressing mix if you need to. Here's the recipe.
