Potatoes Au Gratin // Step by Step ❤️

Whether potatoes are mashed, fried or in a casserole, au gratin potatoes are at the top of the potato chain. When I’m looking for a side dish for special occasions Potatoes Au gratin are my go to, because everybody loves them and they never let me down. I love including a combination of sweet potatoes with gold potatoes because of the touch of sweetness the sweet potatoes bring to the dish, then combined with the creamy cheesy sauce for the perfect side dish. You can choose your favorite kind of cheese for the sauce, as long as its a good melting cheese, just like you can pick the proportion of sweet potatoes to gold potatoes according to your taste. I hope you give this recipe a try. ❤️

Rachel, first of all thank you for sharing all your wonderful recipes. Your step by step explanations are awesome. I learned alot about cooking from my mom many years ago. Her kitchen was her happy place as well. A hugh failure for me early in my cooking years was making gravy, it was aweful. At home my mom made the gravy, I mashed the potatoes.A visit home we switch duties. I made much better gravy after that. Wishing you and your Ron a Merry Christmas.
