Sorry, really disappointed with this recipe - I followed your directions exactly, and it turned out to be nothing more than potatoes (that were still not cooked through despite being in the oven for 90 minutes) and hot milk with lumps of flour floating around. Not a creamy base at all. Definitely not happy that I wasted food I couldn't afford to lose like this, as it wasn't edible and ended up having to throw it out. Was hoping for a good inexpensive filling meal with leftovers for at least 1-2 more dinners.
