Five stars for the recipe but three stars for me because I used yellow onions and the onion taste dominated the dish. I will use a sweet onion next time and there will be a next time.

Easy and tasty potato dish. Using a mandolin to slice the potatoes makes this very quick to put together. With the leftovers I made a Spanish tortilla in the oven for breakfast the next day right in the same casserole I cooked the potatoes. 2 meals and only one dirty dish!

Absolute TOPS!! I varied the measurements because I just eyeballed amounts still layering in right proportions. At the end I just added a bit of
XX cream and sprinkling of white pepper. The thinness of slicking is the secret, and making three layers (or even more ) layers is key to cooking everything right. But think slicking is PARAMOUNT.

Great just as it is. I did use fresh finely chopped garlic though rather than garlic salt. I try not to eat potatoes too often, but I keep thinking bout this recipe so I'm making it again tonight.

We love this recipe if potatoes are on the menu for dinner! So easy, flavorful, and healthier than the old recipe I used to make. Hope you try this and review as well.

I really did need a quick casserole.
This was simple and only took 20 minutes in the microwave.
It is tasty.
I think I will try some variations next time, such as green onions rather than yellow; fresh mushrooms; other herbs and different cheeses. There’s no limit with such a basic recipe.
