  • “There is no better way to prepare a gratin – I love your recipe! It is soft in the middle but crunchy in the edges. Who needs meet, if you can have this dish? Thanks for sharing.”

  • “Thanks, Mirj!the size of the pan wasn’t specified.I ended up using 2 gratin dishes then forgot to measure the liquid, lol.It took longer to cook but was heavenly when done (in about an hour).The nutmeg was really nice & the garlic was perfect.Very easy even though I sliced teh spuds by hand…cut them in half so there is a flat side & it’s easy.It took longer to layer!But well worth it.I’m glad I ended up w/2 pans because we had 1 w/dinner & 1 for breakfast, lol!!!Made for Kitchen Witches ZWT5!xo Bethie”

  • “Yummmmmm!I had larger potatoes, so I used only eight.I loved nutmeg and garlic.I even resisted my urge to add cheese and I still thought this was terrific.Thanx for sharing.”

  • “I loved this! I made a smaller portion and loved the smell of garlic while this was cooking. I added a little dash of parsley at the end. Thanks Mirj for a nice keeper. Made for ZWT5 2009.”

  • “I thought these were some good potatoes.The potato and sauce ratio was perfect.Definately will make again.”

  • “This is a nice dish. The garlic and nutmeg are a nice addition. I would suggest that in making it again (I’ve never really made a gratin) that you make sure the liquid covers all the potatoes. Mine didn’t because I was following the recipe exactly and it just wasn’t enough. It was still good though. I gave it about three stars, my mom gave it four so we’ll give it four. “
