I have to be honest...these are some of the best scalloped potatoes I've had...cooking them in the milk mixture before throwing in the oven is what I think makes this dish special...plus the added touch of heat...but the cooking method is unique...I cut the recipe in half and cooked it in an 8X8 dish...the potatoes were done to perfection and the sauce came out so creamy...nothing was dry here...plus the cheese added a nice flavor...this is going on my best of 2015 list...yum!...made for FYC tag game...

Thank you, thank you, thank you! It's so nice to find a recipe that uses unpeeled potatoes, with all the nourishment that includes! I did cut the recipe in half although I still used one shallot & a large clove of garlic! Used the Gruyere cheese, too, & we loved every morsel of these great tasting potatoes! Many thanks for sharing this great keeper! [Made & reviewed in Went to the Market recipe tag]

I love this recipe for potatoes!! I also peel my potatoes but very roughly as to leave a touch of skin. I love adding more cheese than this recipe calls for because we love cheesy potatoes. Swiss is an OK sub but there is something about the real gruyere that is just very very delicious! I will continue to be proud serving these wonderful potatoes at any meal!

This was good but to suit my mob I will have to peel the potatoes (though my preference is on) but if you don't give them a try you don"t know if you can convert them. I did scale it back for 4 serves and we still had a little left over, though for dietary reasons I had to substitute spring onion/green onion/scallions for the shallot and did use a lot more cheese (but that is was we love) and used a mix of swiss, cheddar and just a touch of parmesan as I'm the only one who really likes it.
