Reviewed for Aus/NZ Forum Recipe Swap for March 2012- Nice potato side, but like NurseJaney I found that the potatoes were still undercooked even after an additional ten minutes in the oven, I think sliceing the postatoes before boiling would be a good idea or slicing thinner before placing in the oven. I think the dish did need a little salt and maybe skip the oil being added to the first layer of the potatoes. This really did look good and had great flavours. Photo also to be posted

*Made for Australia/NZ swap #61* As first to review, this is a tasty side, but prep need a little tweaking. Boiling whole potatoes (medium?) for 10 minutes prior to slicing seemed puzzling and not too effective. Did prepare as instructed, but after baking for 30 minutes in 400*F oven, still had some crunch. Next time I will slice potatoes first, then boil for 5-6 minutes (or maybe microwave ?) before building casserole. In dire need of some salt ! Added 1/2 tsp. Italian seasoning to tomatoes as well as extra dried basil. Forgot the breadcrumbs -- but that would surely add eye appeal. I sprinkled with parsley flakes. Adds to my usual potato prep -- thanks for posting Mandy.
