For an even richer flavor, use Gruyere or smoked Gouda cheese. If using leftover ham, consider dicing it instead of slicing it for a different texture. Ensure potatoes are sliced uniformly for even cooking. Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to your preferred spice level. For a vegetarian option, replace ham with sauteed mushrooms or other vegetables.
