Another excellent recipe by Tyler. This is a wonderful way to add another vegetable to the dinner table. I personally love savoy cabbage and I thought it complemented the potatoes. Very delicious. Thank you Tyler.

This is an excellent side dish. I made this in my 12" (8 quart camp dutch oven and it was great. I increased the potatoes to 3-1/2 lbs and used just over a 1/2 lb of sliced bacon cut into 1" squares. I might increase the cream mixture if I do it in my dutch oven again but it was still excellent as is!

This was the ultimate in comfort food!, I just love this recipe. It was great the way it was, a little time consuming but sooooo worth the extra work. I have made it so many times but the way I like it best is to add ham steak cubed and half the bacon...truley becomes the best meal in the world!

I made this for Thanksgiving at least 5 years ago....it is the only thing my family asks me about...."Are you going to make those potatoes again....we've never had anything like this before"....This is the best potato recipe ever and it will change your Thanksgiving if you choose to make this instead of the standby mashed !!!

Tasty?
It was more than TASTY! It took be a while to put everything together making it for the first time but it turned out perfect! I used the baby potatoes that were different colors and used Prosciutto instead of bacon. Plus I think adding cream cheese would work great and maybe use only 1 1/2 cups of cream instead of 2 cups; and yes it would make it much less runny. Either way the flavor was amazing! I will for sure make this dish again!

Excellent! I used almost 3/4 lb. bacon, regular green cabbage, added onion and only used 2 cups of cream and it was perfect. I baked mine in a 2 qt. round casserole dish (nice and deep and filled to the top. Also I drained all but 1 T. of the bacon fat before adding butter it did not need all that fat for those of you who had the greasy separation problem. Will make again just not often due to fat and calories lol :

I made this last night as a test-run for Christmas dinner. I did half with the cabbage, and the other half with just bacon, because I was kind of skeptical about the cabbage. It was delicious. The cabbage gave it a slightly sour taste that cut into the fattiness of the potatoes, and gave the dish an elevated complex flavor profile. However, the bacon only half was just as delicious and had more of a basic comfort food taste.

Slight variations, I was roasting veggies, so I did this dish at 400 degrees, and it came out perfectly. Not soupy at all. I also had to let this rest for over two hours, because of late dinner guests, but actually, just threw it in at 200 degrees right before serving and had no problems. This is great news, because it means for Christmas Dinner I can feel confidant making it a little ahead of time. Finally, I wouldn't use a lot of salt, as the bacon makes it pretty salty.

Wonderful, I didnt have but 1 cup of cream, so I added cream cheese I had on hand. Also, I had the regular cabbage. All worked out sooooo wonderful. Needed to make it a meal, added some turkey ham, and bam, had dinner for all. Even my 6'1"ft 13yr old by was satisfied. No problems with being soupy, maybe it was the cream cheese?

YUM. I'm getting hungry again just thinking about this dish again. It was a delicioud gratin! I devoured the whole thing. I love potatoes, and any potato fan is going to love this dish. I might have been better off leaving it in a little bit longer because the potatoes were a little firm when they just came out of the oven. But they got softer later on. This makes for a lot of potatoes, and we had leftovers for a couple of days. This makes for a great side accompaniment for almost any dish - chicken, beef, chops -- anything.

I also highly recommend Ina Garten's Spinach Gratin and Eggplant Gratin. Mmmmmm...Delicious!
