Went to the trouble of making my own sauce and using fresh herbs all to no avail. The dish was still bland and the potatoes, oh my, the potatoes. If you try this use russets. I only had red boiling potatoes so they turned out gummy, grey and ugly. Couldn't find the beans for the potatoes and onions.
