Making au gratin potatoes was something that was on my cooking bucket list. I have always enjoyed them when I've had them, and I thought they would be complicated to make. Not so much really. And that's pretty dangerous now that I have made them LOL I found this recipe somewhere online and have made it several times, this past Easter being the most recent. It's definitely a keeper and I will hopefully have occasion to make it again soon. Enjoy!
Au Gratin Potatoes
6 Russet Potatoes, peeled and sliced
4 Tbsp butter
1/2 onion, chopped
1 tsp ground mustard
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 chopped garlic cloves
1/4 cup flour
1.5 cups milk*
3 cups shredded cheese, divided**
Breadcrumbs
Preheat oven to 350. Melt butter in a large saucepan and sauté onions until soft. Sitr in mustard, salt, pepper and garlic until well blended. Stir in flower and milk. Add 2 cups of cheese. Stir until melted. Add potatoes. Stir until well coated. Transfer to a casserole dish. Top with the remaining cup of cheese. Bake at 350 for one hour. Sprinkle with breadcrumbs and bake 10-15 minutes more.
*Can add more milk to get desired thickness
**Can use more cheese. I like to make sure the top of the casserole has lots of cheese!
