This is really tasty! What drew me to the recipe was the amount of vegetables; better than the usual potato casserole. I decreased the fat by using tofu sausage and omitting the romano cheese. Next time I would also cut back on the parmesan- my dish was plenty cheesy! I often replace a white sauce by using my cream soup substitute; 1 1/2 cans was the right amount here.<br/>For future reference: 1 1/2 hours, uncovered, at 375 barely cooked my SHREDDED potatoes. Add them to the vegetable skillet next time?
