Potato and Vegetable Casserole with Cream Sauce – Page 2

4. Assemble the Casserole

Lightly grease a baking dish. Layer half of the sliced potatoes at the bottom. Add half of the sautéed vegetables and steamed veggies. Pour a third of the cream sauce over the layer. Repeat the layers, finishing with the remaining sauce on top.

5. Add Topping

Sprinkle with grated cheese and breadcrumbs for a golden, crispy finish.

6. Bake

Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 15–20 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly, and the potatoes are fork-tender.

7. Serve

Let it rest for 5–10 minutes before serving to allow the casserole to set. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
