I love serving this with baked pork chops. Make sure to use freshly grated Romano cheese. This is a great side dish for a romantic dinner for two.

I made these today and they were delicious. I substituted the heavy cream for soy silk creamer and the romano for soft feta. I will make this again.

    We really liked these potatoes. They had great flavor. I added 3 galic cloves minced and some parsley for a bit of color and subbed parm cheese for romano, but other then that made as directed. Yummy!!

    I decided to try a different preparation method with this dish and it turned out great. . . no separation of the cream and the flavors were wonderful. Instead of sauting the onions in butter, I cooked them together with the potatoes, fresh thyme and a clove of garlic (crushed) in half-and-half (substituted for cream). Then poured the mixtue in a baking dish that had been rubbed with garlic and sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Dotted the butter on the top and baked for 45 minutes, then sprinkled the cheese on top and baked an addtional 30 minutes. Browned to nice crunchy topping with no separation. Thanks for a great, and simple recipe.

    The sauteed onions and thyme really added a great flavor to these potatoes. These are company-worthy for sure. I made this as written but doubled the cheese. I'll make these again. Thanx!
