Potatoes Au Gratin

Why this recipe works

It’s simple enough for a weekly side dish recipe yet can be fancy enough to be served on a special occasion or with your holiday main dishes like my Slow Cooker Honey Ham.

This Au Gratin Potatoes recipe is easy to prep, it only takes 15 minutes of prep time. The tender potatoes combined with the fresh garlic, creamy sauce, and lots of cheese are the best comfort food to enjoy.
