After reading the reviews I added another small step to the recipe. I cooked the potato slices in water till barely tender while I made the sauce. Drained the potatoes and then lightly mixed all the ingredients except the panko which i didn't have, so I used Ritz crackers. No crunchy potatoes and creamy. Adults and grandkids ate it up. I'm going to triple the recipe for a church potluck.

My husband really enjoyed this dish, citing that he liked it better than the normal cheesy potato dishes usually served for holidays. I thought it was decent and will probably make it again. One tip: don't skimp on the potato boiling time! We have slightly crunchy potatoes as I was concerned there wasn't enough moisture in the dish... whoops.

Great side dish. The only thing I would change next time is to add an extra can of cream corn and reduce the plain corn by one cup. We would like it a bit creamier.

This is amazing! My family loved it and demanded it become a regular weekend side.
