Very impressed--Because this recipe differed from the traditional au gratin recipies, I was a little hesitant. But, I found the flavors to be mild but complementary. I will definitely serve this to guests. I'm not sure the affect of steaming the potatoes rather than using baked or boiled, but I nuked medium sized red potatoes and found them to have excellent flavor and texture. I did not peel the potatoes, but left the skins on and only sliced the them (3/8" thick) and felt it gave a pretty good presentation. That did simplify the preparation. Other than using red potatoes with the skins, I did't vary from the recipe. No additional stirring, added broth at 20 minutes, and reduced the oven temperature as specified. It came out perfect.

Fantastic!!! This was a hit last night for our Thanksgiving get together. It came out perfectly--and I doubled it, and it worked just fine, although peeling and steaming the potatoes had to be done in two batches and seemed to take forever. I loved the flavor of the chives. I assembled this, complete with Brie, the night before and it was really great. Thank you MEAN CHEF!!

I am making these potatoes for second time at a birthday supper for my mom. It's a great recipe, very simple to make. I was a little suprised at the consistency (in my mind, I had pictured a creamier texture), but that certainly did not take away from how much the dish was enjoyed. A highly reccomended recipe.

I thought these were good - not outstanding. Super easy though. I think they needed a little something though and def. more salt. I followed exactly. Maybe my brie was too mild. I might make again and make some adjustments, eg. add a little cayenne, sauteed onions, some more herbs? Oh, actually I did make one slight change which was to use scallions instead of chives but I think since scallions are stronger that would have actually added flavor. <br/><br/>Thanks for a good base recipe...
