Very good and easy to make, a great side dish. I sliced the potatoes very thinly and used cottage cheese instead of ricotta. To our taste, it could use a bit more salt. I baked it at a lower temperature (325 deg. F.) for a longer time (an hour and 20 minutes approximately) as I was baking a ham at the same time. Made for the Dining Daredevils for ZWT5.

These potatoes were very good, Charmie. Icelanders revere their potatoes & take a purist view of their prep, but DH liked them as well. I made a half recipe for 2 of us using a gratin mix of Gouda & Mozzarella cheese out of necessity. Like the prior reviewer, I am also a garlic-lover & like a crunchy top, so I took a cue from that review & doubled the garlic & was a bit heavy-handed w/the fried onions as well. Thx for sharing this recipe w/us.

Good stuff. I doubled the garlic powder. Next time I will add more French-fried onions for more crunch. Have added to my recipe book! Thanx.
