I made these tonight as a side dish to a prime rib. I actually cooked a couple slices of bacon, then cooked the onions and garlic in the bacon grease. I then crumbled the bacon over the top of the potato layers. I loved the tangyness the lemon peel gave it too. My husband loved it! Definite keeper recipe.

I decide to make this with Easter dinner. Usually I try out a recipe first before serving it on a holiday, so I was pretty nervous. Due to distractions, I got behind time-wise and with less than an hour until dinner, I decided to use my trusty microwave. My only change in the ingredients was using lemon juice, since I had no fresh lemons. I just added the juice to the garlic/onion mixture before adding the potatoes, then partially cooked the potatoes for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently. I transfered them to the casserole dish, layered with the cheese and bread crumbs per the recipe then microwaved it, covered, for 25 minutes on high. As the crescent rolls baked, I popped the potatoes in the 375 oven for 5 minutes, but I don't even think it was necessary. It was particularly crunchy along the sides, and not everyone might like that, but we do. My family raved about this dish and demanded I make it every Easter.

Wow, Yum, Wow. I knew this would be good. I just guessed on the proportions because I didn't need to make a giant amount. I kind of halved everything, and it all worked out. I will definitely make it again.

This was fantastic! Better than potatoes augratin, and easier too. Didn't have rosemary, so used Italian seasoning--excellent! If you need to speed things up a bit, pop the diced potatoes in the microwave for five minutes or so before combining everything. This will definitely be one for company dinner or for potlucks.

Made the recipe exactly as directed. The bread crumbs were nearly to the burnt black stage by the end of the suggested cooking time. My potatoes were almost overdone. There was no rosemary taste in the potatoes and they needed additional salt. I will probably make this again but with some major adjustments. UPDATE Made this a second time but halved the recipe because I only had 2 potatoes. I reduced the uncovered portion of the baking time to 10 minutes and the texture was much better. Not so overcooked. Still not much rosemary taste. I think it needs to be sprinkled on each layer too. But it was good and not burnt this time.

Expected more flavor from these potatoes, but they still were good. Presentation was very nice, but the flavor just did not really jump out, pretty mild. If you have a bold-flavor entree, this might be the side dish for you. I was just a little bit disappointed, but it's still a four-star recipe.

The only change was leaving out the onion altogether because I didn't think I'd like that flavor with this. But everything else as is, except a shorter cooking time. The potatoes were done after 40 minutes and the cheese had gotten over-done. The crumb topping was way too much. Between those two issues, I did not like this as much as I could have. I tried it a second time, cooking the potatoes for 20 minutes before putting the additional cheese on top, and only about half the crumb topping, and really, it still just didn't quite do it for me, and I couldn't taste the rosemary. It was OK, but there are other things I like better, such as plain butter & rosemary, or as BizzyBee said just another recipe - I'm thinking like the Cheesy Ranch Potato Bake.
