I’ve been wanting to try some homemade au gratin potatoes. The boxed crud was just not cutting it. I knew there could be a lot more flavor to this dish so I cooked up my own little idea!
Au Gratin Potatoes
Ingredients:
- 5 medium Idaho potatoes, washed and sliced thinly
- 3/4 c. milk
- 1/2 stick butter
- 12 deluxe American cheese slices
- 1/2 c. shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tsp. parsley flakes
- 1/2 tsp. dried minced onion
- 1/4 tsp. garlic powder
- salt & pepper to taste
- 1/4 c. shredded colby jack cheese
- parmesan cheese
Preheat oven to 350. Wash potatoes & pat dry; slice very thinly. Grease a square, glass baking dish (8 x 8 x 4) with a cold stick of butter. Arrange sliced potatoes in dish; set aside.
In medium sauce pan, add milk, butter, cheese slices and seasonings. Melt everything over low heat until slightly bubbly. Be careful not to scorch milk! Pour cheesy mixture over potatoes. Stir potatoes until fully coated with cheesy mixture. Top casserole with the colby jack cheese, then sprinkle a little bit of parmesan on top of that. Bake potatoes for one hour at 350. Remove from oven and let cool at least 15 minutes before serving.
**TIP: Once again, use the deluxe American cheese slices that are not individually wrapped. They are SO GOOD.
Cheesy goodness!
