CREAMY AU GRATIN POTATOES
This is my husband's favorite dish, and he considers it a special occasion every time I make it. The creamy cheese sauce and the tender potatoes in this classic French dish combine to make a deliciously addictive experience. It's a great side dish with a roast pork loin or beef tenderloin. Add a green salad and French bread, and you have found the magic path to a man's heart. To avoid lumps in your sauce, add the milk just a little at a time as you stir the flour and butter. Experiment with different cheeses for variety.

Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Russet potatoes are the best choice for au gratin potatoes because they hold their shape well and have a creamy texture. You can also use Yukon Gold potatoes, which are a bit more buttery and flavorful.
- Slice the potatoes thinly: This will help them cook evenly and quickly. Aim for slices that are about 1/8-inch thick.
- Use a flavorful cheese: Gruyère, cheddar, and Parmesan are all good choices for au gratin potatoes. You can also use a combination of cheeses to create a more complex flavor.
- Don't skimp on the cream: The cream is what makes au gratin potatoes so rich and decadent. Use at least 1 cup of cream for every pound of potatoes.
- Season the potatoes well: Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are essential seasonings for au gratin potatoes. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as thyme, rosemary, or nutmeg, to taste.
- Bake the potatoes until they are golden brown: This will take about 30-40 minutes. You can test the potatoes by inserting a knife into the center. If the knife comes out clean, the potatoes are done.
Conclusion:
Au gratin potatoes are a classic side dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and always a hit with a crowd. With a few simple tips, you can make the best au gratin potatoes that you'll ever taste.
