This recipe was a bit bland for my taste, but it had potential. I think I would add more cheese and spices to the sauce next time. The potatoes were cooked perfectly though.

These potatoes were a bit too crunchy for my taste, but the cheese sauce was delicious. I think I would try slicing the potatoes thinner next time so they cook more evenly.
