Lovely! The fresh herbs and the cheese made it special. -
What can I say, 2 of my favorites...potatoes and garlic! The addition of the cheese, especially Gruyere, is an "icing on the cake" flavor. This is definitely a repeater! Thanks -

This went well with our steak. Cooking the garlic in with the potatoes seemed to make them milder. Next time I will add more garlic cloves...we love garlic!Thanks for posting a keeper:) -
Very nice, great with roast meat of any kind. Cooking the garlic in with the potatoes is easy and works great.

In the words of Tracy Byrd, "I'm from the country & I like it that way"!!
On May 1, 2008 my husband and I started a new adventure. We'll be living in a 37 foot RV while our new home is under construction. Its out in the country on a dead end dirt road with lots of trees. For the next 4 months or so, most meals will be cooked on the BBQ and life will be full of challenges!
We love spending quality time with our friends & family - especially the grandkids!! The photo is 4 generations - my 84 year old mother, myself, my daughter & my youngest granddaughter - taken at the end of 2006.
