    *Note*You may also refrigerate them to reheat at a later time, or you can freeze them.

    If you freeze them, delay placing the cheese slices on top until you are ready to bake them. You might want to add more milk to the mix before filling the potatoes because after freezing they seem to reheat a little less creamy.
