DeLish!!! I doubled the recipe and used a 9x13 pan. I used 1 can evaporated and the rest 2% milk. I threw the onions in with the cream sauce so they would soften a little. Cooked them for a full hour. A few minutes longer would be good. I would definitely make this again (at least when I'm not dieting!)

Wonderful! I used whipping cream instead of half and half because I didn't have it on hand. Used dry minced onion and added it to the sauce. Used 4 jumbo potatoes which doubled the recipe to 16 servings. So glad this sight has the function to recalculate measurements, and the substitute page is extremely helpful.

Made this recipe many times. My family loves these potatoes. I too use sour cream instead of half and half ( low fat or no fat) I usually have a variety of cheeses in my potatoes ( clean-up the left over chunks) There is no such thing as too much cheese in these potatoes. This is so simple why would anyone use canned soup as a base for anything? Bill K. #1440799
