  4. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to four days.

Notes

Consider making the filling ahead of time for quick assembly. Customize flavors with herbs or spices like dill or garlic powder. Serve them cold for a refreshing twist in warmer months. Avoid overcooking the potatoes to prevent mushy filling and remember to taste your filling for seasoning.
