Very good potatoes that are not diet friendly but taste great! I sliced the potatoes by hand so some of my slices were thicker than others and had to bake a bit longer. Not peeling the potatoes made them a bit rustic but still dressy enough for a nice dinner. Will make these again Leslie! Made for PAC 2009 - Fall.

    We had these with our pork tenderloin roast and it was the perfect accompaniment to a perfect meal! The whole family ate these and I got compliments from everyone on the meal! I will be making these again! Thank you!

    OH LESLIE!!!! These potatoes are SINFUL!!!! But soooo good!!!!! I made a small amount for myself, and now can't wait to make them for my hubby when he gets back from traveling! A new favorite!!!!!!! (I did use Yukon Gold ones, and they worked perfectly! I did bake them longer, too, but that's because I just couldn't slice them any thinner than what I did. But all was just fine in the end!)TY!!!!!!!!!!

    These potatoes are very yummy! They are rich, cheesy, and the nutmeg flavor really comes through. They went together very quickly and easily. I did have to cook them almost an hour. I think I may have sliced the potatoes a little thicker than I should have, although I tried to get them very thin. My family really enjoyed these and gave them 2 thumbs up. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful recipe...it is definitely a keeper.
