  • “I’m re-reviewing these tonight. They were great. I omitted the cheese and just used the breadcrumbs (lots of cheese in 2 other dishes) they worked better this time than last and really were delicious. Still loved the garlic in them Bergy and now problems with the topping this time although I didn’t use the cheese. Here’s the original 4 star review….These were good, but most of the topping ended up on the bottom of the dish. Next time, I will omit the breadcrumbs, so there is a stronger parmesan flavour from what does stay on the top of the spud. I make these occasionally, but have never put garlic in them before-loved that! Thanks Bergy for another useful recipe. “

  • “Based on Jan S’s recommendation, I omitted the breadcrumbs.The potatoes were good, but for some reason they tasted so much more flavorful the second day reheated in the microwave.They were a great complement to sausage and sauerkraut!”

  • “Not the best potato recipe I ever had but was good. 4 Stars for me.”

  • “These were very good butI wish I had not added the bread crumbs. We ate them with a chicken for a nice light meal. I liked the parmesan cheese in them and will use that again. Also nice with the garlic – very nice recipe, thanks.”

  • “We decided to do a different Christmas dinner this year and went with a Swedish theme. These were certainly the silent hit of the meal. I was just looking for a simple side potato recipe but these went over SOO well. I set the oven to broil about five minutes right at the end to get them nice and brown and they looked beautiful. There were absolutely no leftovers from a large crowd. Thanks for a GREAT potato recipe.”
