I scaled this back for 3 and there was plenty with some left over. I baked at 175C fan forced and as the baking dish I used was on the small size I got 4 layers of potatoes and took an hour to cook to tender stage though next will add some extra cheese to the top layer as I think this would brown and give better presentation for unfortunately the potatoes did not brown as much as I would have hoped but the flavour was very good. Thank you TeresaS, made for Rookie tag game.

Very Yummy! This was a tasty, satisfying way to use up my potatoes. I used my mandolin to evenly slice the potatoes and make it go quicker. I used a whole white onion and added 3 minced garlic cloves. I had to sub parmesan for the romano, water plus bouillon for the broth and light cream for the evaporated milk. I also used Lawry's season salt for the salt. The sauce was a little thin but it didn't bother us. This was great alongside chicken and zucchini. Made for kittencalskitchen.com tag.

Delicious! The whole family liked this and went back for seconds. It definitely tasted full-fat.

Excellent! DH is always after me to make scalloped potatoes but they are so fattening and a pain to make. This was fairly simple (especially since I left the peel on the potatoes) and tasted great even though it was low fat! I used a little more cheese than called for and partially skim evaporated milk, but otherwise made it as written.

the taste was delicious!! i used smoked gouda instead of cheddar. It had a nice bacon taste when you use the smoke cheese... it tasted very fattening but it wasn't.... no butter or cream... i love that and so will my ww leader!!! thanks for sharing!!!
