FAQ:
Can I use sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes? Yes! Sweet potatoes can be used for a slightly sweeter flavor and a vibrant color. Just slice them thinly and pre-cook them as directed.
Can I make this dish gluten-free? Absolutely! This potato lasagna is already gluten-free as it uses potatoes instead of pasta. Just make sure to check the ingredients of your bechamel sauce and cheese for gluten.
Can I prepare this lasagna in advance? Yes, this lasagna can be prepared ahead of time. You can assemble it, cover it with foil, and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours before baking. Alternatively, you can freeze it for a later date.
How can I make my bechamel sauce thicker? If you prefer a thicker bechamel, simply cook the roux (butter and flour mixture) for an extra minute or add more flour. Stir in a little extra flour if the sauce is too thin while cooking.
Can I use other cheeses? Yes, you can experiment with different cheeses like gouda, cheddar, or fontina for a different flavor profile. Just make sure to balance out the meltability of the cheese.
