Reviewed for Aus/NZ Forum Recipe Swap for March 2012- Nice potato side, but like NurseJaney I found that the potatoes were still undercooked even after an additional ten minutes in the oven, I think sliceing the postatoes before boiling would be a good idea or slicing thinner before placing in the oven. I think the dish did need a little salt and maybe skip the oil being added to the first layer of the potatoes. This really did look good and had great flavours. Photo also to be posted -
*Made for Australia/NZ swap #61* As first to review, this is a tasty side, but prep need a little tweaking. Boiling whole potatoes (medium?) for 10 minutes prior to slicing seemed puzzling and not too effective. Did prepare as instructed, but after baking for 30 minutes in 400*F oven, still had some crunch. Next time I will slice potatoes first, then boil for 5-6 minutes (or maybe microwave ?) before building casserole. In dire need of some salt ! Added 1/2 tsp. Italian seasoning to tomatoes as well as extra dried basil. Forgot the breadcrumbs -- but that would surely add eye appeal. I sprinkled with parsley flakes. Adds to my usual potato prep -- thanks for posting Mandy.
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
Melbourne I live on a 5 acre property in the Dandenong Ranges Victoria, Australia, having moved from the burbs when I became pregnant with my now 15 year old daughter Alyssa.
Once my daughter was born I became a stay at home mum as I couldn't bear the thought of putting her in daycare. She is the light of my life, I never imagined myself as a mum when younger but now wouldn't have it any other way. Alyssa was made a big sister on the 19th April 2010 when our cheeky little boy Blake was born. I love cooking and experimenting with new recipes so quickly become addicted to Zaar as it was previously known & still use it regularly. In addition to being my kids taxi :lol: I also spend my time, reading, gardening and of course shopping. I'm lucky enough that we have the space & so love growing our own fruits, vegies & herbs, this also means we have plenty of room for animals & at the moment have 2 dogs, Max, a Jackshund who's 6, Fletcher, a Kelpie who's 4, 6 cats Snowpea, Fergus, Ginger, Tango, Annie & Cookie, 4 chooks & 2 Ducks.
As well as our pets, we also have a lot of native animals around our area, we have kangaroos, wombats, echidna's, possums as well as rosella's, galah's & Cockatoo's hence the name of where I live..
