Make sure to check the potatoes for doneness before serving.

Fantastic! I didn't have the soup called for in the recipe so I substituted cream of potato and 3 cloves of minced garlic (we love garlic). I will definitely be making this dish again.

This tasted good, but far too much grease. I made the recipe exactly as written and the potatoes were swimming in a pool of grease. I would cut back the cheese to two cups and use milk the next time. They tasted good but are a heart attack in the making as written.

Great comfort food. I couldn't find the soup at my regular grocery store, so wound up using a baked potato soup and adding my own garlic. It was delicious. I have since found the soup, so will try the recipe again. Might also try adding ham and onions for a one-dish meal.

These were good (3.75) but the flavour was lacking. I searched at quite a few local stores for the soup (Campbells brand) and it wasn't to be found. I did the next best thing and bought some cream of potato soup, and roasted a few garlic cloves - I imagine the difference would be negligable. The cream is NOT a must for this recipe, as it only adds calories, and not much flavour. I swapped the cream for some evaporated milk, which would impart the creaminess the cream would've given, but w/ fewer calories/fat grams. The thyme was a lovely addition, but not enough to make this dish "pop" w/ flavour. I'll keep it on file for future reference for tweaking...perhaps instead of using rosemary as a mere garnish, I'll add some into it...or some oregano, and a fontina or provolone cheese as I don't think that the cheddar was a good mesh. Thanks for sharing!

these were delicious! i followed the directions exactly except added a bit more cheese, which i do to everything, and used my mandolin to slice the potatoes. its very important they're the same thickness or they don't all cook evenly. covered with foil to bake for the first hour then uncovered and put under broiler for a few minutes to get the top gold and crispy. terrific!

I also couldnt find the correct soup so I used Cream of Potato and added some fresh garlic. I was serving them with buffalo ranch chicken sandwiches so in an effort to tie everything together I added a small amount (a tablespoon or two) of ranch dressing to the mixture and it turned out great.

Very good. I used 5 potatoes and cut the rest of the ingredients in half upon learning that my can of soup was only 10 oz. Still thought it came out great, and even my husband who wanted me to "just make basic mashed potatoes" said this had a very nice flavor.

I really didn't like this. I think the box brand is better. It looked very greasy on top and I was afraid to show it to anyone. The taste was alittle bland and it was really dried. I even cooked it alittle less then what it said. It tasted like something you would serve in a nursing home. To save on time, I would just buy the box. There were six friends how voted it bad and one that voted it good.
