  Really tasty and you really couldn't tell it was low in calories! Served this at a dinner party alongside roast chicken and green veg. Went down really well with all the guests.

  Very nice and very easy to make, however, I used low fat creme fraiche as that was all I had and I found the sauce was a bit grainy. It tasted fine, but didn't look good! I know the recipe states full fat creme fraiche and in this instance best not to deviate from it!

  Really disappointed with this- didn't alter the recipe at all and found it rather bland.

  Fantastic recipe and so nice that it is a bit less fattening! Not as rich as a regular dauphinoise but was yummy as a lower fat version.

  I also used reduced fat creme fraiche and skimmed milk as wanted to reduce the fat content. However I think I'd rather stick to the full fat version as was watery and tasteless. I also think I would put garlic into the dish rather than just infusing the milk as just wasn't garlicky enough for me. I also had to cook it for a longer time - perhaps my thin slices of potato weren't thin enough!

  Tried this and it was adequate but for me no more than that not unpleasant but certainly not stunning either - very middle of the road.

  I was unable to get Creme Fraiche or Guyere Cheese here in our local shops in Mauritius - so I used half light cooking cream and thick natural yoghurt and Emmental cheese. Guests loved it - tasted delicious. I am getting used to a new cooker and overdid one of the 2 dishes I did of this, so I removed it from the oven and poured some semi skimmed milk in any gaps and let it stand for 40 mins, the milk was soaked up and it tasted delicious.
