Ingredients out of proportion and resulted in a soupy mess. Never had to cook potatos before for this type of recipe and doing so here resulted in potatos that were too soft and crumbly. Result was more like mashed potatos. Using Swiss added almost no flavor and we all needed salt to give any flavor.

I thought this was a great recipe - I made it for my 12 year old who loves Au Gratin-anything and she loved it! She couldn't tell that they were lightened up. I would definitely make this again!

We wanted a good side for our Christmas Buffet Dinner for 16 people that was lighter than the traditional version. So we tried this one out a few weeks earlier and loved it enough to use it in our Christmas Buffet. I doubled the recipe (and will make 2 batches for 16 people). The only change I made was adding 1 cup of fat free Half & half per 8 servings. It added 20 calories per serving, but was still light and delicious.
