Add a small can of green chilies, some ground taco meat, and some sautéed diced red pepper and onion right in with the potatoes for a Mexican twist. It’s easy to make this recipe vegetarian with a condensed soup like cream of mushroom, cream of celery, or cream of broccoli. I recommend using 1 1/2 cups diced or cubed ham pieces. Add diced ham to turn this side dish casserole into the main course. Make a lighter version of this recipe and use Greek yogurt to replace some or all of the sour cream. I would use about 4 slices and be sure to cook it before adding it to the casserole. Bacon makes everything more delicious! Toss cooked bacon in with the potatoes, or scatter it over the top to become extra crispy in the oven.
