Mother knew these rich, hearty potatoes are excellent on a cold day since the cayenne pepper warms you up. Once the first of us eight kids picked up this dish, it didn't hit the table again until we all had big servings. -Helen Vail, Glenside, Pennsylvania

I made this the first time but added bacon bits. It was pretty good. The second time I sub'd chedder cheese soup for the mushroom and added a bit of cheddar cheese to the layers. My family demolished it though it would have been better with bacon. I'll make this again and again.

To add my 2 cents: This dish was well-received at Christmas dinner. I put in too much red pepper, will adjust for next time. Easy to make and delicious!

PERFECTION!!! I increased sliced potatoes to about 7-8 cups, and milk to 2 cups and left everything else the same.

I made this last Friday; and added smoked sausage, sliced onion and 3/4 lb of Processed cheese. I made to sauce in the microwave then added it to the potatoes. My wife loved it. Next time I'm going to try making it in a slow cooker.

I made this recipe for Christmas. It was delicious..I doubled the recipe and the pans were clean. I did add onions over the first two layers. This recipe is very easy and a keeper for this family.

Am making these tonight, yet again. So good, but I agree with another reviewer, that it doestn't seem to serve as many as the recipe says. Maybe it is just that good!

These are fantastic! My husband would eat the whole thing if I let him. I did tweak the recipe a bit. First of all, I added a layer of thinly sliced onions on top of the first two layers of potatoes, I increased the butter to 6 T., and I whisked the flour in with the soup, milk, salt, and cayenne (I wasn't sure if that's what you were supposed to do anyway). Just for some crunch on the top, I sprinkled some French fried onion rings over everything for the last 10 minutes of baking time. I'll definitely be making this again. Thanks for this great recipe!!

This recipe was soooo good and easy to make. However I probably would double the recipe because it didn't seem to make that much. Also make sure you grease the pan VERY well other wise most of the bottom goes to waste.
