I missed this earlier. This looks great. I have been getting bored with the usual Taters and this would be a nice change. Thanks...JJ

Thanks JJ, we needed a new dish too and these are pretty good, thinking y'all will enjoy them too.
xray / Joe just made a batch and he thinks they're a keeper.

Dang that looks good, thanks for posting your recipe John!

chef jimmyj I made them last night with tuna patties and posted here on SMF. I just tried to follow Chile the best I could. He's a hard man to emulate. "Often imitated but never duplicated."

I think they came out really well. The cheeses used here really make the dish stand out. The tops of the potatoes, if above the sauce, really lend a nice crispiness to the dish without having to add a crumb topping found in most au gratin recipes.

I placed my plate on a cookie sheet when baking. Good thing I did, because these will bubble up and over. Better to clean the sheet than the oven.
