I struggled with how to rate this. The potatoes were nicely browned, with a nice punch of flavor from the sun dried tomatoes and pesto. However, the whipping cream burned and stuck terribly to my pan. Like one of the other reviewers, I also think that the suggestion to add the cheese towards the end,is an important suggestion to follow. I think if I could have fixed the problem with the whipping cream this would have definitely rated higher

This potato dish is full of good flavors - but not too much of any one, so that the great potato taste comes through. Adding the cheese about halfway through is probably a good suggestion - I didn't and it got pretty browned. I used a combination of half and half and skim milk and that was plenty rich. Thanks for posting!
