Made this just for one, left out the roast garlic and used a little dried garlic granules. Used cheddar cheese. Still really tasty and easy to make. Will definitely have again. Served this time with slices of gammon and homemade beetroot chutney

mmm these potatos were soooo good! I accidently put all of the cheese in the mix, so I sprinkled some parsley and cayenne pepper on top. I used parmesan cheese. We will make these again, thanks for sharing.

Excellent recipe! These potatoes are easy to make and look and taste like you worked all day on them. I only made 2 potatoes so I adjusted the ingredients but otherwise made as posted. These would be great for a dinner party! Thanks for posting!
