We had this for dinner this evening and DH loved it. I used fingerling potatoes instead of 8 large as that is what I had on hand. Cant wait to try it tom for lunch with some left over grilled shrimp. Even two out of the 3 kids ( all under 6) really enjoyed this dish. Don'ts skrimp on the good cheese as it really makes this dish to use the really good stuff. Made for PRMR Jan 2009

Last night we had this basically as written, aside from less potatoes (only 2 large), more lemon and fresh thyme, and it was 4 stars. Had the leftovers today for lunch with the addition of a little bacon bits and truffle oil, and that definitely brought it up to 5 stars. This makes for a beautiful presentation and a deliciously different meal!

Very good but there seemed to be something missing. I used 1/2 stock and 1/2 white wine which was a good idea. Everything else I did pretty much as stated except I added some garlic to the potatoes while baking. DH suggested that next time I add some pancetta or bacon and I thought maybe some arugula tossed in at the last moment would be great. Together they may be be exactly what this needs to bring it up to 5 stars. Thanks for posting this, I look forward to playing with it a little.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this different side dish. I made exactly as the recipe stated, substituting half the vegetable broth with red wine. I was not sure if the sage should be left whole or what, so I cut it slightly into large pieces. I also cut the recipe in half, quite successfully, as there are only two of us. Thanks for a great taste experience!

July 2008 update: VERY happy to be back on Zaar after about a two year absence due to having had no internet connection at home, and having been too unwell for a time so that getting re-connected wasn't even a priority!
<br>
<br>And really looking forward to getting back into the Zaar world and connecting again with the many wonderful people I knew before, and new people, of course!
