I was a bit anxious at first whether this would turn out or not due to the other reviewer's problems, but I neednt have worried. It turned out fabulous! I luved the combination of dill with the potatoes and carrots! It came together fairly quickly and easily and tasted really good! It was moist with a browned top and spots of cream (I used sour cream). Next time Ill serve this with a fried egg on top I think. Thanks so much for sharing this winner of a recipe with us, JanuaryBride! Made and reviewed for Veg'n Swap #8 March 2009.

I was looking forward to this but I was a bit disappointed. I still like the idea but think it needs to be tweeked a bit. The dill disappeared and was undetectable and my cream just sat on top. Also, I didn't think the potato was totally cooked but that would have been because I used too small a dish. Next time I plan to a) use a large dish to create a flatter product, b) double the dill and use milk, and c) chop the onion and fry-off first. All-in-all not a bad recipe. User error contributed to this not being what I expected. Will make again. Made for Aussie Make My Recipe #5.
