OK. DON'T know what i did wrong. Followed recipe to a T. Potatoes were thin slice via cuisinart. Baked in huge Wolf oven. Still sitting here on Christmas Day waiting for the dxxx potato casserole to cook. We are at least 1 hour later than the 45 minutes on the frxxxxx recipe. Did you all parboil the potatoes first????????? There seems to be a ton of happy posters- so please give me an idea of your secret!

I don't understand all the negative reviews?! My family loves these potatoes! I did remove the foil and add cheese and broiled at the end, like another reviewer, so they were more like Flemings. But I can't imagine how potatoes can't be done in this amount of time...not possible. I highly recommend for special occasions.
