Fantastic method. I simply sautéed diced onion before adding the wet ingredients for the sauce. If it's taters, gotta have onion!!!!!!

Easy and yummy. I used half and half instead of heavy cream and I still had great results. I mixed about half of the cheese right into the potatoes. This goes well with almost any meat. Thanx for sharing!

Excellent. Creamy, garlicy, cheesy and rich. What's not to like. Very easy to make too. This will be a hit for family gatherings. For tonight I cut it in half and it still made a lot. Thanks for sharing. Made for your win in Summer Spectacular 09 :)
