Notes
• If you don’t have an oven-safe cast-iron skillet, you can use another oven safe dish like a pie plate or casserole dish.
• You can go with a Mexican pre-grated cheese, but I recommend aged cheese that you grate yourself. The pre-grated type contains preservatives meant to keep it from clumping. It doesn’t melt quite as well.
• This recipe is highly versatile, allowing for customization and personalization. You can experiment with different types of cheese, add your favorite toppings like diced onions, black olives, guacamole or Homemade salsa, or even modify the spice level to suit your taste preferences.
• Are there any substitutes for the scallions and cilantro? In place of scallions, chives provide a similar mild onion flavor. Finely chop chives and use them as a garnish for a touch of freshness and mild onion taste.
You can certainly go with parsley if you prefer it over the strong distinctive flavor of cilantro.
• Leftovers will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat them without the cold dip in a 450℉ oven for about 10 minutes until the potatoes are warm and the cheese melts.
