Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Helpful Tips
- Cut the potatoes into evenly sized cubes so they cook at the same rate.
- Covering the skillet helps the potatoes cook faster and become tender.
- Shred your own cheese for the smoothest melt.
- If the skillet looks too dry while cooking add a splash more of heavy whipping cream.
