FALL PAC 2007-These were really good and I really enjoyed them as did DH BUT the directions leave a bit to be desired. I had a hard time deciding if the cheese was to go on top of the milk then the potatoes of if the potatoes went first, then the milk, then the cheese. That was how I prepared it. I put the potatoes in the buttered dish, topped with the milk and onion mixture, then the cheese. It turned out very well and the smokiness of the cheese really added a great flavor to the potatoes. I will be making this again. Thanks VR...this is a great recipe.
