Reviewed for ZWT7- THese potatoes were so good- creamy and cheesey- delicious. I couldn't get red potatoes so used nadine potatoes instead. Used freshly grated nutmeg and ground pepper for this dish. Photo also to be posted

Awesome! I made these with a russet potato and cut the recipe back to 2 servings. Now I wish that I'd made the whole recipe. These truly are decadent! So easy and yummy. The nutmeg really added a great touch and these went well with Kona Coffee Rub. Thanks Leslie for a new keeper. I can't wait to make these again. Made for ZWT7 for the Emerald City Shakers.

Very good potatoes that are not diet friendly but taste great! I sliced the potatoes by hand so some of my slices were thicker than others and had to bake a bit longer. Not peeling the potatoes made them a bit rustic but still dressy enough for a nice dinner. Will make these again Leslie! Made for PAC 2009 - Fall.
