  5. Pour the cream of mushroom soup over the top and spread it evenly. Season with salt, pepper, and any additional spices.
  6. Top with a layer of shredded cheese.
Baking
  1. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for about 45 minutes.
  2. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and cheese is bubbly and golden.
Serving
  1. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
