Ingredients:

Servings: 4

As I made it, this was a three star dish, but I think with the changes I would make next time it would be 4 stars. First, it is VERY important to cut the potatoes and onions extremely thin. Use a mandolin or similar device or else it takes a really long time to cook and the slices all fall out every time you try to take a bite. I used a taller casserole dish and layered three times, instead I would recommend a 9x13 pan and layering twice. I would also recommend adding spices with each layer instead of on top. We had to add more vegetable broth and cook it longer, but that may have been because of the thicker potato slices and taller casserole dish. I used goat cheddar for the cheese, next time I might try some hard rosemary goat cheese.

This is a really simple dish to make and it tastes great. I love how cheesy it tastes but not so much that it tastes like a heart attack :D thanks for a great recipe!Made for ZWT5.

I made these for my DH last week - his comments exactly "you can make these again any time" I don't often hear that. Thanks for posting - we'll be enjoying these for years to come.
