  4. Prepare a baking tray with Reynolds plastic wrap. This will help with the potatoes not sticking to the pan and for ease of clean up. Layer half the potato mixture evenly. It should be fairly thick.
  5. Then top it with the cheese and evenly spread it out. Top it with the remaining potato mixture and spread evenly. Wrap it again with a plastic wrap and freeze. Freeze for 3 hours and take it out and cut to desired shapes.
