I loved this recipe, though I added a few changes to it that made it great. Instead of the cream and milk separately, I used half and half. Also, in some of the layers I added red chilli powder, jalapenos, black olives, and other spices. mixed with the cream, it gave it a lot more flavor! love it.

The flavour of this was very good. I particularly liked the fresh parsley and basil. The problem I had was the amount of milk in the recipe. There was a lot of liquid when the potatoes were done. I would make this again, but cut way back on the milk. Made for my adopted chef for Fall PAC 2009. Thanks Super Wifey! :)
