Notes

Store leftover Million Dollar Potato Casserole in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave until warmed through, or cover the baking dish with foil and reheat in the oven at 350 degrees until hot. The cracker topping will soften after storage, but it still tastes great.
