Romano Potatoes

Great comfort food, I could have made a meal of the potatoes alone! Followed the instructions exactly and had a quick side dish for dinner the next day.

I will say, that I am VERY VERY picky, I have very sensitive taste buds. So needless to say I had to learn to cook at a very young age. I followed the directions exactly and it does NOT taste at all like the dish from saltgrass. I had high hopes because I just had the dish at saltgrass 2 nights ago. It was DELISH and absolutely loved it, but I didn't like this version of it at all. There was a very funky strong aftertaste in this recipe, whereas the one from saltgrass has a very pleasant aftertaste. I think all the ingredients might be correct but the proportions of the cheeses in particular are not. Way too much Romano ( I would cut it in 1/2) and not near enough jack (this I would double). I used mild cheddar, perhaps sharp would help. I am sorry I cannot rate this any higher, but claiming it tastes like saltgrass' recipe is a FAR stretch.

Awesome recipe! I did not do the potatoes ahead and used fat free 1/2 and 1/2 instead of milk. I think next time I will reduce the butter to 1/4 cup just to save some calories, but it was wonderful.

These potatoes are delicious, and would make a wonderful side for an holiday meal - the next time I make them I will try experimenting with reducing the fat content (using low-fat cheese, milk, 1/4 cup butter) - I would love to eat these all the time, but I think I would be the size of Rome if I did ;) Thanks for a tasty recipe!

This was absolutely awesome! I followed directions w/just a couple of exceptions: didn't do potaoes day ahead (didn't have time) and used heavy whipping cream instead of whole milk (husband likes cream better than milk). I'll cut back a little on the butter next time cuz it was a little too much w/spraying the dish (but not outlandish). Overall, a wonderful dish! Thanks!! Sharon
