Delightful! I love the top layer of potatoes, the scattered crushed garlic infuses it's flavor into the potato and the potaotes turn crunchy brown. The recommended shallow pan is just the ticket because you want to expose as many potato slices as possible. I loosley placed a piece of foil over the dish for the first 45 minutes and removed it for the last 45. Excellent side dish Thanks Derf.

A winning combination! I scaled the recipe for 2 servings, used thyme since I don't like the rosemary prickles & covered the casserole dish for the first 45 minutes. Thanx Dorothy!

Excellent! I actually made it for dinner during Passover and it was a big hit. I don't like Rosemary, so I used dried oregano and black pepper on top of the tomato layers and then included shredded emmentaler cheese on top of the tomatoes and again on the top of the final potato layer. Mmmmm.

This is excellent. My DS was very concerned when I sent him to the produce section for leeks. He'd never heard of them, so I let him find them on his own. Anyhoo, I used up some of my garden tomatoes and loved every bite of this easy yummy dish!

I will be using this recipe a lot. Instructions were very easy to follow. I finely chopped the garlic and only used 1/2 cup of chicken stock. I used basil and added shredded cheddar cheese to each layer and baked it per your instructions. At first I was concerend about the potatoes browning too much, however, they were wonderful. Great recipe, Derf, thank you for sharing it.
