For an extra layer of flavor, try adding 1/2 cup of crumbled blue cheese or Gorgonzola to the cheese mixture. If you prefer a smoother casserole, you can mash some of the potatoes before adding them to the mixture. To make ahead, assemble the casserole up to the baking step, cover tightly, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Add 15-20 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold. You can substitute the red potatoes with Yukon Gold potatoes for a creamier texture. Use high-quality ingredients, especially the cheese sauce and mayonnaise, for the best flavor.
