Easter Dinner Hit!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I've never had success with scalloped/gratin potatoes, so thought I'd try this one after all the wonderful reviews. Well,... they were all spot on! I doubled the number of potatoes and the cooking liquid and used sharp white cheddar instead of swiss cheese. I only had a pound of cheese, which worked out to two cups, would have been more "cheesy" if I doubled the cheese, too. After I peeled the potatoes, I used my food processor to slice them, easy work! I layered the cooked potatoes in a 9X13 pan, and poured just enough cream to come up to the top of the potatoes. I just put the cheese on the top, instead of making layers. This recipe was so easy and everybody loved them! Next time, I think I'll triple the recipe!Read more

I made these for Christmas dinner
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I changed it up just a tad. I mixed the cheese-1/2 swiss 1/2 cheddar, added finely chopped onion and garlic. I took it to a... large family gathering. It was gone in a flash! I actually filled up a large foil baking dish and threw it away since there was nothing to bring home! I am making this dish for Easter. Super easy!Read more

A crowd pleaser
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have made this several times for company, everyone always comments on how good it is. Last time I put a layer of grated... parmesan reggiano on top to add a bit more cheese flavor and get a nice golden brown top.Read more

USE WHITE CHEDDER!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

We tried white chedder instead of swiss. Allow the dish to cool and more of the chedder flavor comes out. Awesome.

Fantastic
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have made this recipe for years and I love it, everyone else does too for that matter. I really like to up the heavy... whipping cream and swiss cheese for even more decadence. This is too easy.Read more

Comfort at its finest
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I'm typically a roux kind of cook when it comes to baking potatoes and macaroni with cheese. But I thought I'd give this one... a shot due to the reviews it got. Man, was I not disappointed. I took on board comments about adding finely sliced onions and agree completly. It really took the dish up another level IMHO. Nutmeg not a problem. Highly recommended!Read more
