Small bowls of mix-in ideas for customizing the potato bake
Food safety tips: Keep the potatoes refrigerated while thawing and do not leave them at room temperature for more than 1 to 2 hours before cooking. Always cook this casserole until it is piping hot in the center; the creamy potato layer should be bubbling around the edges and reach at least 165°F if checked with a food thermometer.
Once cooked, do not let the dish sit out at room temperature for more than 2 hours at a buffet or picnic (1 hour if it’s very hot outside). If you’re transporting it to a Memorial Day or graduation gathering, keep the slow cooker on WARM and plug it in as soon as you arrive so it stays safely hot. Refrigerate leftovers promptly in shallow containers and reheat thoroughly before serving again.
