"I thought this recipe was excellent. One reviewer said that the potatoes never got done. I baked this dish for the suggested one hour and I also discovered that the potatoes weren't done, so I let it bake another 20 minutes and it was perfect. I think the answer is to use cooking times as a guide only, because everyone's oven is different."
