Potatoes Au Gratin

Potatoes Au Gratin is definitely a weakness of mine when it comes to holiday side dishes. Basically, if it has carbs and cheese, it’s a favorite of mine 🙂

You wont believe how easy Potatoes Au Gratin are to make and for some reason they’re always viewed as a little more special at our house than just regular mashed potatoes or another potato side dish. They go with pretty much any meat and vegetable and the ingredients are usually things you already have on hand, including potatoes, cheese, butter, flour, milk, cream and spices.

Russet potatoes are the best and most common type of potatoes to use for au gratin potatoes. Gruyere cheese is also most commonly used, but I like to use cheddar cheese, or half gruyere and half cheddar since my family likes that flavor better.
