I love the versatility of this recipe. I've made it with different types of potatoes and yams, and I've also added different herbs and spices to change up the flavor.

I'm allergic to garlic so I omitted it from the recipe. The dish was still very flavorful without it.

I've made this recipe with both russet potatoes and sweet potatoes. Both versions are delicious but I prefer the sweet potato version.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover turkey or chicken. I also like to add a handful of chopped fresh herbs for extra flavor.

The garlic and parmesan crust is the perfect finishing touch. It adds a crispy, savory flavor that really elevates the dish.
