I really like a recipe that survives the leftover process. These were great the first time around and subsequently, reheated in the nuke, just as good with another meal. Thanks keen5 for a great side dish.

Excellent flavor & so easy to make. I got everything ready in the AM, placed the sliced potatoes in cold water so the wouldn't discolor, sliced the onions, covered them, measured out the cheese etc. An hour before dinner I dried the potatoes assembled the pie - popped it into the oven and there it was golden & ready to serve 45 minutes later. I cut the recipe back to 3 sevings
