IMPORTANT NOTES 👇🏼

When making the cheese sauce start by adding 25ml of milk, microwave for 30 seconds & take it out every 10 seconds to mix it with a fork/spoon. Times may vary depending on the microwave so it may take less or more time. Add more milk if needed & make sure to just keep taking it out & mixing until you have a thick consistency.

Boiling the cut up potatoes with vinegar is optional but does help hold the potatoes together & makes them have an extra layer on the outside to give them a slight crisp.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ prob should follow the recipe and use fresh potatoes instead of crispy premade ones. Otherwise not bad; maybe less seasoning? And get enchilada sauce and don’t use pasta sauce (too tomato-y)
