My family has been making these potatoes for over a decade to go with our roasted beef tenderloin at christmas. After making them I don't know how many times, I completely agree that they take WAY longer than 45 minutes (my mom has the same issue). I highly recommend making them a day or two before you need them and giving them the solid 2+ hours they need to cook through. Refrigerate until you need them. Bring out of fridge well before you want to cook them so they can start to come to room temp then reheat for 45 minutes. Cover with foil to avoid over-browning. They take a long time to make, but perfect for special occasions like holidays.

OK. DON'T know what i did wrong. Followed recipe to a T. Potatoes were thin slice via cuisinart. Baked in huge Wolf oven. Still sitting here on Christmas Day waiting for the dxxx potato casserole to cook. We are at least 1 hour later than the 45 minutes on the frxxxxx recipe. Did you all parboil the potatoes first????????? There seems to be a ton of happy posters- so please give me an idea of your secret!
