Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large russet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and set aside.

- Serve: Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
Notes
- Make-ahead option: Assemble the casserole the night before, cover, and refrigerate. Bake in the morning for a quick breakfast.
- Substitutions: Use turkey sausage for a lighter option. You can also add mushrooms, spinach, or other vegetables of your choice.
