  Tried this last night on Freinds, it was lovely and ideal when you have just started your New Years Diet But must say I still love Dauphinoise

  I love Dauphinoise and had worried this would be a bit tastless, however it was delicious! My non-dauphinoise fan of a husband also liked it. I did add salt and pepper to this, I felt it needed seasoning. Very easy though, after a fee minutes prep it sorted itself out. It's a great low calorie potato side dish. Definitely do this again.

  Great alternative to dauphinoise, I par-boiled the potato slices for a few mins first, as I seem to have trouble with these recipes getting the potatoes to go tender. Also, fried the onions lightly before adding them. Will definitely be doing again.

  This was a brilliant recipe though I had to add extra cooking time. I made my own veg stock from my Sarah Brown book when I was cooking for vegetarians but will probably use chicken stock from my freezer for normal mid week meals.

  I made these as part of Easter Sunday lunch for my family. My Dad isn't a big fan of potatoes but amazingly he went back for seconds of these and Lewis, my cousin, went back for thirds and forths! Big hit with everyone. Will definitely make again.

  I really enjoyed these, fantastic with the rosemary chicken dish off of this site. The rosemary chicken has a lot of flavour so these potatoes were perfect, tasty without being the main part of the meal and not at all heavy! I just put them in the oven alongside the casserole and didn't even think about them until the hour cooking time was up! Will try adding a bit of garlic next time I think.

  These are nice made with beef stock- especially if you are serving with red meat. Be sure to use salt & pepper and brown the onions before adding to give a sweeter taste.

  I have made boulangere potatoes before and was impressed with the results, but I am not so keen on this recipe as the potatoes started to fall apart and went a little gloopy, perhaps because they were sliced so thinly. I think I'd prefer to slice them a little thicker next time and par boil in advance to make sure they are cooked through rather than making them very thin.

  Not enough flavour and I found the thyme a little bitter - personal taste of course!

  I have cooked these potatoes several times. I always parboil the potatoes for 5 minutes in boiling water. I also add crushed garlic and they turn out wonderful. Mature cheese grated on top towards the end of cooking works well .
