Very good and easy recipe. I made this for Thanksgiving. I used red bliss potatoes and they were fine. I substituted nutmeg for the thyme or marjoram and topped the potatoes with paprika for color.

This recipe was just like my Mom used to make, basic, easy, and very tasty. This came out just as described. Thanks.

I used canned sliced potatoes and thyme for this recipe. This tasted very good, but I think I made a mistake somewhere as the sauce ended up looking curdled after baking. Maybe my oven runs hotter than it should.
