Excellent! My family loved it! One suggestion, use less butter. I actually drained most of it off. I did cook longer than suggested (abouy 15mins)as potatoes were not cook through after 30mins (and yes they were sliced thin and evenly) Otherwise, quite a hit in my house!

Question, preparing this for Christmas dinner. Can I make it 24 hours before and refrigerate until baking?

This was very yummy....although I think it should cook a bit longer as the top potatoes did not cook fully and were still a little hard.

At night while my husband is watching tv, I get out my I-pad and look at all the pretty Paula dishes she has prepared and plan what I am later going to cook the way Paula says. Love all the little side notes she talks about.

I found this recipe several years ago and have used it for special meals when guests come over ever since. You can make it ahead of time and pop it in the oven at whatever temperature works with the rest of your meal. You can also adjust the proportions to the number of guests. (Leftovers are great!) There are so many comments about the butter. I use some of the butter to pour over the casserole, but you can adjust it to your taste. If you love mashed potatoes, you'll love this. If you love baked potatoes, you'll love this. You just can't miss with this recipe!!! If I remember correctly, Paula came up with this recipe to use leftover potatoes. Wow, what a transformation!

Mrs. Deen my mother was born in Al. she has cooked her entire life from the time she was 6 ot 7. You were her favorite person to watch on TV she was trying to launch her own cooking show and had her own seasoning when she took ill and past in April of this year. I was not blessed with her ability to cook I like to cook but can not cook as well. The Holidays Thanksgiving and Christmas were her favorite times of year house full of people eating and sharing but any way I am going to use your website and a coupe of your recipes to cook this christmas because I havent had the heart to look at her old recipes she has written down just thought I would share. You cook with love like my mother did. There are a lot of chefs that cook and love to cook and their food is amazing and very good but there is something about a chef that cooks with love you can taste the difference. Have a Happy Holiday and God Bless in Loving memory of my mother Barbara

I think of Paula as a Mother. I wish I had been her daughter. She is so Motherly I envy Jamie and Bobbie. I used to live in Texas and my husband got a job in Savannah. I love to cook and wish some day to meet her.

I just "LOVE" Paula and her family. I have watched her since she was working with Gordon going from house to house with her wagon filled of spices and other food items. Everyone says that they' are her biggest find but "I beg to differ" I have been her #1 fan from the very beginning. Paulas is wonderful and I admire how she has come form so much diversity and she kept pushing on with hard work and dedication no matter how hard it was....and believe me it was hard for her and her family, Additionally, I have watched every program that she has created/been on and add to that "road tasted" by her sons. You are the Best Paula Deen, and you are the true American hero in regards to the American Dream of what our country was made of "hard work and perseverance!
