    I tried this earlier, was lovely! However, were you supposed to par-boil the potatoes first? they were quite hard!

  2. slimadmin

    nope you dont need to parboil the potatoes, the only thing I can think is that it either wasn’t baked for long enough or the potatoes where sliced too thickly.

  3. Angela H

    IN THE OVEN! I didn’t have any mozzarella. I was generous with the Romano and Parmesan sooooo… fingers crossed!

  11. Siobhan (Slimming Eats)

    I am sure you can, I haven’t personally tested, just ensure you count the syns as creme fraiche is not free.

  12. Carol

    I have made this twice now and it is delicious, the only thing I am going to change next time I cook it is that I will cook it for longer as even though the potatoes were cooked we felt it’s as not quite there, so I am going to cook for 45mins covered in foil then uncover, put cheese on and cook for 30 mins more. I will let you know my results.
