Loved this recipe! So simple but so delicious! Loved the addition of the sliced onion in this dish and the subtleness of the cheese.

Very good! It took a little longer to bake than stated, but very good! I made it as stated.

What a wonderful recipe! I did a few things different and I would do it again! Instead of fat-free milk, I used 1% milk and instead of reduced-fat cheese, I used Velveeta cheese. I was looking for a recipe that was similar to my Aunt's, for Easter, and I feel that I have found one that was a lot easier and even better. I did double the recipe as well to make an even bigger batch, luckily for me have a Pampered Chef Ultimate Mandoline Slicer so slicing potatoes was easy for me. During our Easter lunch, my sister, who is the pickiest eater in the family, turned to me and said, "Please tell me there are more potatoes upstairs because these are so good!". Overall, this recipe was a success in my book and is one that I will keep! Thanks!

I had the same thing happen to me last Christmas. I'll tell you what I did wrong---I made the dish the day before but I did  not bake it . I wanted to have more time for my guests so did the prep the day before, put it in the fridge over night, and what a shock when I removed the foil and saw BLACK POTATOES. Air had gotten to them and turned them black.  That is one mistake I won't make again.

This very easy and good. Made it just as the receipe indicated and it came out perfect. Hubby loved it too.

I pre-bake my potatoes in the microwave before slicing for this recipe. That way you know the potatoes are done.

My potatoes all turned black in this recipe. What did I do wrong?

This was awesome! I used 2-1/2 cups of milk and adjusted the butter and flower accordingly. I also baked it at 375 in a 9x13 glass pan. It was done in the time allotted. Will definitely make again.
