Notes
- Note 1 I used standard white washed potatoes for this recipe
- Note 2 As the garlic cooks in the cream sauce it becomes soft and tender. It is simply irresitible!!
- Note 3 Dried onion saves time and tears! Find it in the spices section of the supermarket with the other herbs. It is SO easy to use and doesn't involve peeling an onion, removing the skin and slicing it in order to get that unique onion flavour.
- Note 4 An Australian tablespoon measures 20ml. This is slightly bigger than an American one that measures 15ml.
- Note 5 We use ¼ cup parmesan cheese IN the sauce and ¼ cup parmesan cheese ON TOP of the potatoes, total ½ cup in recipe.
