I couldnt believe how wonderful these were. I am not one too cook in the microwave and they sounded too simple to be so good but they were excellent! The potatoes had a really great flavour and they hardly had any fat in them. I would serve them as a side dish for company any day. If anyone wonders I weighed the poatoes and it took 6 medium size.

"These potatoes are great!!!" was the response I recieved after my husband at his first bite. Its almost embarrasing how easy these potatoes are to make. This is a definite keeper.

Ditto Tara's comments. PaulaT, you're under-rating this recipe by calling it tastey. It's absolutlely scrumptuous! Wish I had company right now so I could show off. Oh well, more for me! Thanks PaulaT. Oh yeah. I did substitute evaporated skim milk just because I had an open can in the fridge

Quick and easy. I used very finely micro-sliced potatoes and they cooked perfectly! I was surprised that the small amount of butter and milk gave the dish such a creamy flavor. I enjoyed the top layer (that was spinkled with the Hot Hungarian Paprika) but missed that something extra in the bottom layers. For the purist - this recipe is perfect, as it is a great recipe for potatoes and onions... I was left wanting something... just a touch... of something else.... I will use this recipe again as it is quick and easy.... I may add garlic powder and a small amount of seasonings to the layers. Thanks for posting!

These were very easy and quick to prepare and left the stove top and oven free for other dishes I was preparing. However, I did think that they were missing something; I'm so used to eating this type of dish in a cream sauce that my taste buds felt a little cheated.I think next time I'll add some garlic and a little cheese. This potato dish is one that I'll use many times over though.

This is an excellent & easy side dish! I used Nature's Seasonings by Morton in place of the salt & pepper (but it's basically salt & pepper with a little garlic powder). Otherwise, I changed nothing. This one goes into my "keeper" binder!

These were simple and good. I think I might try cooking the onions a little longer, they were kind of crispy. I highly suggest using a metal grater to slice the potatoes and onions. next time I might try adding whipping cream instead of milk.

one evening i decided to "coax" my husband into helping with supper, so i pulled up the category of potatoes and let him have at it. he found this and made it. i was impressed with the way it turned out and the ease of it all. my husband was impressed with himself and i was thrilled with his help!!

This was a nice easy recipe. I peeled and sliced the potatoes the night before so I just had to pop it in the microwave when I came home from work. I didn't bother to cook the onions first and it turned out just fine. Thanks for a great recipe.

I prepared the recipe as posted. These potatoes were way better than anything I expected out of my microwave. I had a rib-eye steak to grill last night and needed something to add to the menu along with a spinach salad. Perfect! Even better, the leftovers are good!
