I have to give it 5 stars on pure enjoyment - I scaled backto 3 serves and diced to make them individual and put them in small spring form tins (bad mistake liquide leaked and tried to sedcure by envoloping in tins in alfroil - didn't really work but we ended up with lovely sweet and tender potatoes, though I did use cheddar cheeese for even though doing as individual serves I used cheddar cheese instead of parmesan ( would personaly preferred parmesan but even if I only put it on mine they would have refused to eat theirs after smelling cooked parmesan of mine). Baked at 175C for 55 minutews for beatifully tender potqtoes. Thqank you Kerfuffle-Upon_Winkle, made for Photo-tag.

FYI, this type of potato preparation is called Dauphinoise. Dauphine is a puree that is dried and fortified with egg and starch, balanced to the point where you are able to deep fry them without exploding.
