Potatoes Au Gratin

If you don’t want ooey gooey cheese covering every single nook and cranny of your scalloped potatoes then this is not your recipe ha! It involves layering thinly sliced potatoes with a cream sauce, then baking until the cream thickens and covered in a rich melted cheese. 

Ingredients for Au Gratin Potatoes:

• Red potatoes
• yellow onion
• Cream of mushroom
• Evaporated milk
• Velveeta cheese
• Salt and pepper to taste

We like to start by creating a layered base of potatoes, onion evaporated milk, cream of mushroom, and seasonings. This evenly distributes the flavors so that every bite is consistent and amazing. 

Slice the potatoes as thinly and uniformly as possible. You can use a mandoline slicer if you have one, but it is not completely necessary. Place the potatoes in a large bowl and mix until the potatoes are evenly coated.

How to Make Potatoes Au Gratin:

• Preheat the oven to 375F
• Clean and dry potatoes
• Thinly slice (mandalin is optional) into 1/8 inch thick slices
• In a bowl combine all ingredients except for the cheese
• Get all potato slices nicely coated
• Transfer to a 9×13 casserole dish
• Bake for 45 minutes
• Top with cheese and bake an additional 15 minutes

Au Gratin Potatoes is a family favorite recipe in my home! This side dish comes together easily and creates a cheesy and creamy dish that is so yummy! Great for weeknight dinners, holidays, or potlucks.
