Enjoyed this very much and easy to prepare. I made a minor change, in that I used 1/2 cup sour cream and 1 cup milk, so I could have the best of both worlds. LoL! I also started the onions beforehand. I've had potato dishes before with raw onions included, but found they didn't cook sufficiently in the baking time given. Delicious. Made for PAC Fall '08. :)

I halved this recipe & instead of the salt & pepper I used a teaspoon of lemon pepper, but otherwise used what was listed!The resulting potato dish was tasty! Another time I might add some garlic & use a sharp cheddar, but the recipe does work fine as is! Thanks for sharing! [Made & reviewed for one of my adopted chefs in this Spring's PAC]
