  1. Wow! This dish was UNBELIEVABLY GOOD. (Warning - it is VERY rich - in the good way.) Everyone that tried it said that it was the best scalloped/au gratin potato dish that they had ever had. It was pretty easy to make too. I did make a couple of alterations. Specifically, I used about 8 Yukon Gold potatoes instead of baking potatoes as I find them more creamy and delicious. Also, instead of 6 oz of herbed cream cheese I used an 8 ox container of whipped garlic/onion cream cheese. Instead of 2 1/2 cups of whole milk, I used 2 cups of 2 percent low fat and 1/2 cup of heavy cream. I used a very sharp, hard, white Irish cheddar cheese as the cheddar. All in all I'm sure that the recipe would be just as good as written, I just changed these things to my taste and what I had on hand. 6 people have asked me for this recipe - I think that's the highest praise I could give it.
     
  2. I made this for Easter and I was a little disappointed. Pretty bland. I will make them again with different cheeses.
     
  3. It has been a few years since anyone wrote a review for these potatoes so I thought I'd share my opinion so people continue making this SCRUMPTIOUS dish! Well, I followed the recipe to a T with the exception of the cream cheese (I used the 8oz whipped with chives which I saw another person substituted as well-it was on sale at the grocery store and I'm cheap so that's the kind I bought) I have every faith that using whatever original recommended cream cheese would have given me almost the exact same product. I found this recipe a few months back and I've already made these potatoes 3 or 4 times! I'm starting to lose count because it is turning into one of my go-to dishes. Will be making it for the fam again today and I know they are going to devour it! If your looking to impress make this dish, you won't be sorry!
     
  4. This is EXCELLENT! Made it for Easter Sunday and even the little grandkids loved it! My town did not have the cream cheese with herbs, so I substituted that with 1 envelope of Good Seasons Garlic & Herb salad dressing and 6 oz of Philadelphia cream cheese. I reccomend this dish!
     
  5. This was simply delicious. Made for a dinner party and I've already given out the recipe three times since.<br/>Fairly easy to make and the outcome is divine.<br/>I did not make any changes except I used Onion and Chive Cream Cheese instead of herbed cream cheese. Not too big of a difference.<br/><br/>Will definitely be making again.

  1. Wow!!! I too used the garlic/onion cream cheese instead of the herb cream cheese. I followed the rest of the recipe as is. My family loved it!
     
  2. Wow! Super good recipe! I had a bug to get creative and substituted 1 cup of milk for 1 can of Cream of Mushroom soup. Also, I didn't have the nutmeg so I left it out. I really enjoyed this and will be making it again many times.

<style>body { background: url("http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3639/3512121819_f2f1aaf050.jpg?v=0"); background-repeat: repeat-y; }</style> OK, here goes. I live in Athens, Greece. I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages! I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure. So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call. What did I do wrong? Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths. I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time. That's all for now.
