We made this for dinner last night. We used garlic instead of cheese. I know, not an equal substitution... but it was great! I sliced the garlic into little slivers. Then put them into the slices of the potatoes. I found that if you stagger them they fit better. Then when the potato was all cooked, the garlic is really brown on the end but the inside is all soft and gorgeous. Perfect. I can't wait to try these with the cheese as directed. Oh and the cook time was great! It was pretty much bang on. The outside was slightly crisp and the inside was all soft and beautiful. Thanks!

Let me just add my 5 stars to the ever-growing list. I used a combo of fresh parsley and oregano and also added minced garlic (taking a cue from Saturn). Wonderful results. Very flavourful side. Easy to make. Lovely presentation. Definitely 'company' worthy! Thanks Kate.

These are WONDERFUL potatoes!!!!!!!!!!! And SO ELEGANT looking with almost no fuss at all!!!!!!! HIGHLY recommend, especially for company!!! The only teensy thing I did different, was I used that Sargento 5-Blend Mexican cheese, love that stuff! And used 2 bamboo skewers on each side of the potatoes as a cutting guide. They work even better than wooden spoons, because you can get even closer to the bottom without cutting too far! TY so very much for sharing this AWESOME recipe!!!!!!!

A pretty potato, and mildly tastey. I thought is might taste better to put tabs of butter between the slices before baking instead of drizzling over the top. A lot of the toppings melted off. Not much got in and flavored the potato. So to me it was sort of bland. But my kids all really liked it. Thanks for sharing!

Simple to make with a beautiful presentation - great dish for BBQs and company or just any old time. I made exactly to the instructions and while a very enjoyable dish, it's missing something. Next time I will add garlic & perhaps some seasoning salt or a spicey cajun spice. That would take it to 5 stars at our house. Thank you for sharing. Made for ZWT4

Yummy - elegant comfort food I call it. Loved the cheesey part. Thanks, Kate.

When I got home and started making these potatoes I realized there was no more butter left so I used a little olive oil instead. That seemed to work out fine though, and since I like thyme I used that instead of parsley. These potatoes indeed looked elegant and had a nice texture and taste after the alloted baking time. Thank you!

These made a very attractive change from the usual Sunday night potato side dish. I went for the fresh thyme variation. Yummy!
