What I like about your video's is that you showed how thick to cut the potatoe and we didn't have to watch you cut all. You get right to the point.

[@paulaadams9413]

Thank you for NOT dragging out the prep like so many demonstraters do (eg peeling every spud on camera). 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I made this last week, and I totally stuffed it cos I put too much cheese, too much cream, and not enough potatoes. My girlfriend said “don’t worry, ur learning”. So I’ve made it again tonight and corrected my mistakes lol. Thanks Jack good video mate.

[@ChefJackOvens]

Thats it mate, trial and error. Glad you were happy with the second attempt! Cheers 🍻

[@PederLindbergMN]

This is almost exactly the same as my grandma's scalloped potato recipe! It is so delicious! The only difference is we don't add the cheese since it is already so rich from the cream, and we sprinkle flour between layers of potatoes to help it thicken up.

[@gwynnethwilkes9043]

Scallop potatoes in our house are thinly sliced potatoes dipped in batter and fried. Better than chips.

[@janetrichmond7886]

@@gwynnethwilkes9043 I do the same. Delicious!

[@dww2006]

That’s how my mother made scalloped potatoes too. Using 3% (homogenized) milk instead of cream and no cheese. I like this version but I might leave out the onions and do a couple of layers with Gruyère in between and on top.

[@dominiquejeames4386]

Excellent in France we call it a "gratin de pommes de terre". Yours is very nice and certainly very good. There are regional variations like: gratin dauphinois, um, quite a poem too. Different, but delicious. There are potatoes, milk, sometimes full cream, salt, pepper, NO cheese. We pour the potatoes in a buttered dish (as you did for your recipe!) we can also rub the bottom of the dish with a clove of garlic, then we add between each layer of potatoes a little salt, pepper, some small splinters of butter and we start again until the dish is filled. We finish by pouring the milk (or a mixture of milk and heavy cream) Put in the oven and cover with aluminum foil for 45 minutes, then uncover and put back in the oven until the top is golden brown +/- 25 to 30 minutes. Leave it in the oven turned off for a few minutes until the potatoes have absorbed all the liquid (if necessary) With a grilled meat, or just with a well seasoned green salad it is wahou delicious 😋 If you try it, bon appétit. And kisses from France 🇫🇷

I remembered working in Sizzler’s and whenever I am assigned in the hotside, this is the bestseller. This is my personal fave and I always wanted to prepare this myself. When I went back to my home country, I introduced this to my family and they loved it. Thanks for this video, it reminds me of my wonderful memories in Australia. ☺️

My son asked for a home made potato bake with bacon for dinner tonight to go with my home made chicken schnitzel. So I thought I would look up some good methods for preparing and cooking on KZbin. I watched a few and I must say that your way of preparing and loading the backing dish was very appealing to me. It was so easy with no fuss in loading the dish, all I need to do is just add the lightly pre cooked bacon to mine. I also appreciate your clear instructions and your recommendations as you worked through step by step. All the helpful hints you gave along the way they makes such a difference in the kitchen, like wiping around the edge of the dish before putting into the oven. It makes cleaning up after would so much easier. You describe the taste and texture of the end result of the meal once served. I enjoy traditional cooking from scratch with whole foods. I look forward to watching some more of your wonderful healthy cooking recipes, with the fun and enjoyment one can have in the kitchen. I find it very satisfying and rewarding, when cooking for my family and friends. Thank you so much for sharing your gifts and talents with the world.

[@susansiegel3511]

I was so taken with this recipe that I wanted to make it today, and not have it as a side dish but to have as a main meal, so I placed an order with a well known website who could deliver within a couple of hours (I’m partially disabled and don’t have any means of transport) I halved the recipe and started making it at 2:30 this afternoon, I found it so easy and not just to prepare but, to not have a massive mess to clean up! I put it in the oven for an hour, took the foil off, added the cheese, set an alarm on my phone for 30 minutes, went to sit on my bed to give my sore swollen legs a bit of respite, and fell asleep 😦 the alarm didn’t wake me…it’s now 10:00pm, about three and a half hours since I was to start eating my meal! It was salvageable in bits, but definitely nowhere near as tasty as it should have been! I’m thinking that, since I have enough to make it again I might try in a few days, when I’ve got over my bitter disappointment!
