This recipe is so much better using Yukon Gold potatoes and made very simple by using a mandolin to slice the potatoes. The Gruyere cheese is a special treat as it is rather pricey but so worth it in this dish! I follow the recipe to the letter and it turns out wonderfully each and every time.11/14/09

I used this recipe as a basic guideline (ie: I changed a lot of things!), and the final product was VERY tasty! What I did different: Russet potatoes, cheddar cheese, 2% milk, halved the recipe and baked it in a pie plate. It's a pretty basic recipe that allows for a lot of wiggle room, so go ahead and try different things and add your touch to it - it will be yummy!01/26/09
