This was very nice. Also subbed dried for fresh tarragon, 1 tsp dried per 1 Tbsp fresh. I thought there was too much liquid and I had about 1/4 of the potatoes leftover for an 8" casserole.

I hunted high and low for fresh Tarragon without success, succeeding only in leaving a trail of quizzical looks behind me. In the end I substituted 2 Tablespoons of dried Tarragon instead.... We could taste it just fine, but everyone at the table agreed that more would have been even better to give it much a more substantial flavour. It's a great, fairly quick and easy recipe to make and one that I enjoyed *very* much... next time I'll be making this with a summer salad on the side, and it will definiately be on my next buffet menu. Please see my Star rating system.. this recipe gets a very very well deserved four stars. Many Thanks for sharing it !!!
