This was very good. We used 1 cup creme fraiche and a half cup of whipping cream since creme fraiche turned out to be so expensive! We also added some garlic and an extra half cup of cheese. Yum. I purchased a mandolin especially for this recipe, and am glad I did. It made quick work of slicing the potatoes.
