Potatoes Au Gratin

A baking dish with au gratin potatoes in it.

Recipe Tips

  • I like to use Gruyere cheese because the flavor is incredible, but it can be expensive. If you need a cheaper option, try freshly shredded mozzarella cheese since it melts nicely. It just won’t be as flavorful. Also, you could use cheddar cheese or a combination of any of these.
  • I suggest getting a block of cheese and shredding it. Don’t buy the pre-shredded stuff as it doesn’t melt as nicely.
  • Make this perfect side dish even cheesier by garnishing it with parmesan cheese.
  • When adding the potato layers, don’t layer them too thick or too tight together. You want all the potatoes to cook evenly.
