- I made these last week in small tins and made great left-overs to take camping. I replaced the green chilis for broccoli however in my son's portion.

Potatoes gratin always sound better than they taste, to me. This is the best recipe I've tried. I chose the recipe because it called for green chilis and was expecting to them to be more pronounced, but I couldn't taste them at all but loved the flavors from all the other seasoning. I used evaporated milk and southwest seasoning since I was out of cumin, those changes worked for me. The only thing I would do different next time would be to cook the onion slices before mixing them in. I would do this for any gratin recipe. I prefer the taste of browned onions. Other than that, I wouldn't change a thing. Thanks for the keeper recipe.

We loved the flavor the chillies gave this and the healthiness aspect, since we regularly sub low and nonfat products with great results. I halved this except for the potatoes for the two of us for our entree, using a quarter teaspoon of salt and a bit more parmesan. It was quite spicy and a very tasty dish.
