1/2 inch is too thick for the potatoes. 1/4 inch makes a better dish (in my view)

I just love this dish! I served it at a church luncheon and everyone loved it. Thanks for posting!

Use a cast iron skillet and skip the transfer to a casserole dish......I use low heat for the onions and garlic. It takes longer, but I think it's worth the time- they eventually are a beautiful pale gold color.
