    This recipe sounds great - but since when has chicken stock been suitable for vegetarians??

    Really good - did this with chicken for a trial run for a dinner party and it was lovely. Will definitely be using again!

    This is a great recipe. Potatoes crispy on the top, and soft and melting with the onions and garlic underneath. I didn't bother to peel the potatoes, and sliced them thinly by hand. It was still quick to assemble and tolerated being left in the oven an extra 20 minutes, whilst waiting for chicken to cook.

    Excellent and easy. Served with steamed fish and spinach it was delicious. Used vegetable stock on this occasion but will be using chicken stock next time.

    This was a great success. I think next time I may substitute rosemary for the parsley

    Delicious! I served this with steak and fresh veggies - its good because its not as rich and doesnt feel as naughty as dauphinois potatoes. I had to cook it for 30 mins longer in the oven than it suggests though. Will definitely make it again

    a great way to do spuds. our pan wasn't quite deep enough so the stacks were less than impressive. still really enjoyed, will make again after buying a deeper tray.

    I used a food processor with a slice blade to slice these up, and was happy with the thickness of the slices. I used vegetable stock as had a veggie quest. I was not entirely happy with the result - pots were not crispy on top like I expected, and maybe the veggie stock did not provide the flavour I was hoping for either! Shame.

    Great. Used a stock cube. Halved the quantity, but kept some stock to pour on if they started going dry. Going to make again and again
