This recipe is a great combination of comfort food and class. A super way to turn what, for us, is typically a weekday dish into something rather special. A definate keeper of a recipe that will be made again. PS: I made this exactly as written but next time I'm going to see if I can get away without salting the potatoes (although it might affect the crispness of the crust)!
