What could possibly go wrong with a combination of potatoes and meat? Nothing.
I was lazy about dinner and wanted to make something as easy as chop, combine and eat. This was it. Flavorful and warm, it got much applaud from the husband. Did I tell him how simple it was? Of course not! After all, the devil’s in the details – right?

Frequently Asked Questions
Why par-boil the potatoes first instead of roasting them raw?
Par-boiling — about 6 minutes in the microwave with 2 cups of water until nearly cooked but still firm — ensures the potatoes are tender all the way through after the 20-minute oven bake. Raw baby potatoes would not cook through in that short a bake time, since the oven time is primarily for melting the cheese and crisping the top, not for cooking the potatoes. 
Can I make this ahead and bake it later?
Yes — the notes say you can prepare the dish ahead of time and bake it just before serving. Par-boil the potatoes, assemble everything in the baking dish with the cheese on top, cover, and refrigerate. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20 minutes when ready.
Hi Su-Jin. Apologies, that is a typing mistake. I meant 400 “deg F” for degree Fahrenheit (approximately 200 degree Centigrade) – referring to the temperature to heat the oven to.
Hope this helps. Happy cooking!
