Potatoes Au Gratin
Potatoes Au Gratin is a side dish that everyone should make at least once a month. It is so good. The flavors of milk, cream, cheese, and potatoes mix to create a heavenly taste.
When a potato recipe calls for the potatoes to be sliced thin, like Potatoes Au Gratin does, you should use a slicer and not a knife. You know the late night infomercials that advertise, “They Slice–They Dice–They Do Everything”? Well it turns out that they work great!! You can pick one up at your local discount store. I promise that it will make cutting potatoes a breeze. And for less than $15 they are a true bargain.
How To Make The Potatoes Au Gratin Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 clove garlic-halved
- 2 cups whipping cream

- Arrange the potatoes in the baking dish just one slice high. Season to taste with salt/pepper.
- Repeat layering with remaining potatoes, seasoning each layer as you go.
- When half the potatoes are in the dish, pour half the cream mixture over the potatoes.
- Finish layering the potatoes.
- Pour the other half of the cream mixture over the top of the potatoes.
