Very nice recipe that went well with our steak dinner; differant taste from most potatoe cassoroles I've tried with an almost earthy taste if that makes sense. Followed directions exactly right down to uncovering in the last hour of cooking. Pretty simple when using my mandolyn slicer and fresh herbs from the garden. I might try adding some cheese to the top in the last 15 minutes of cooking next time. Made for Spring PAC 2012
