One of the best potato casserole sides I've ever made, it takes a little bit of time and effort, but is amazing once done and very much worth the wait. A great side dish, very good reheated and a perfect comfort food on a cold day.

I don't even know where to begin with this recipe. Except for not being precise on the amount of salt, pepper and nutmeg to taste I thought this recipe was very very bland. When I was reading the ingredients I thought wow, 2 cups of heavy cream, cheese, and salami, this has got to be good. To me, it was a big waste of time. It took me 15 mins to prep, 1 hour and 15 mins to cook the potatoes the first time and then it is to be baked for one and a half hours. (total time 2 hours and 45 mins and it came out Dry. I am really sad to find a potato dish I didn't like.
