I hate giving this 2 stars -- but it really was just "OK" for us. I think it was the cumin -- it just didn't seem to "compliment" the potatos and cheese. My onion was large -- and I wished I had only used half of it. I'm not sure I'll make it again. I have a lot of your recipes, Kittencal -- and this is the first one that we've really not enjoyed to the fullest. Thanks, Bobbie
