    I love this recipe. It tastes so good, and I don't serve anything else with it for dinner. It's so good, and really easy to make. I have to be careful when I take it out of the oven though. Paula Deen could squeeze it right away with her fingers to open it, but I have to use an oven mitt. My fingers aren't that tough!

    Crista from Mexico. thanks for the tip. The sauce was a bit runny so I added a bit of cornflour (cornstarch and it thickened it up just dandy.

    I made this last night to rave reviews. We put it over the potatoes, but I also pan seared a couple of New York strip steaks, sliced them thin, and served them with the potatoes. Yummy!! I had the leftover sauce over pasta tonight. The one thing I'd change next time is that I didn't care for the whole peppercorns in the sauce. Maybe it's just me, but I didn't like biting into a whole peppercorn. Also, like other reviewers mentioned, I added a liitle corn starch disolved in water to the sauce.

    I LOVE PD, but why do SO many FN cooks/chefs show one thing on TV and add other ingredients when we go online to print them out??? This happens ALL the time, VERY confusing!!!

    I made this for my in-laws when they were in town, and they said it was the best potato's they ever had. That's all they talked about the whole weekend. I used regular black pepper because I didn't have/know what peppercorn was and served the bacon as a topping. Turned out perfect. I forgot how good it was until my husband came home from work 6 months later and asked for them.

    I have always heard that English pub food was bland. I am glad that I don't believe everything I hear. This was absolutely delicious. Words can not describe how delicious this is. I wish now I would have bought smaller potatos and made more of the sauce. I cut the recipe in half because it is only me and my husband. Next time I will make the full recipe, just because I am greedy. One more thought. The recipe doesn't say to remove the pan from the heat when you ignite the brandy, so please do it. Be careful, my brandy went up quick. I should have used a bigger pan so the Brandy wasn't so concentrated.

    Didn't like the flavor that the brandy gave it, and I just felt it was way way too heavy with bacon and cream. I drained the fat off of the bacon and mushrooms before I added the brandy, because that is just insane. Normally I like Paula's recipes but this one didn't do it for me.

    I watched Paula prepare this recipe on the English Pub Fare episode of Paula's Home Cooking. Afterwards, I knew I had to try these potatoes. On the show, she added chopped green onion to the sauce. However, it is not listed here in the recipe. I forgot about it until my husband and I had sat down for dinner. Also, I didn't have any green peppercorns, so I just left those out as well. Regardless, these were fantastic (even without the green onion and peppercorns! I cooked my potatoes in the mircrowave, which to me just really cuts down the cooking time. The recipe doesn't mention draining the bacon grease, but I did anyway because that's typical for me. I served them as a side with grilled steaks ... absolutely perfect! My husband and I both thought these potatoes were great!! I know I will be using this recipe for years to come. Thanks, Paula! This Texas gal thinks you're the bomb!
