Yummy and cheesy potatoes with a great onion flavor. I halved the recipe, but used 2 medium russets. Baked in a 1 quart casserole dish in the toaster oven at 400 degrees for 30 minutes, then added the cheese on top and baked for another 15 minutes.

We liked this dish. I really liked the thyme in there. The only thing I did different was to bake at 350 because 425 seemed a bit high to me. Thanks for posting.

MMMM! Comfort food. My hubby and I gobbled these up, my kids don't like potatoes, so honey and I had to eat them all....too bad! I also added s little more cheese to the top. Thanks for a keeper. Easy and Yummy with stuff I already have. Love It!

This was so popular in my house! The second time I made it I peeled a 7 pound bag of potatoes and doubled the butter mixture(no thyme for personal preference) and it was perfect. I served this as part of a brunch and everyone raved about it. Thanks for the recipe.
