Tips:
- Use a good quality cheese. Velveeta is a processed cheese product, so it doesn't have the same flavor as a natural cheese. Using a good quality cheese will give your potatoes au gratin a richer, more complex flavor.
- Don't overcook the potatoes. The potatoes should be cooked through, but they should still be slightly firm. If you overcook them, they will become mushy and the dish will be less enjoyable.
- Use a variety of seasonings. Salt and pepper are essential, but you can also add other seasonings to taste. Some popular options include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper.
- Don't be afraid to experiment. There are many different ways to make potatoes au gratin. Feel free to experiment with different ingredients and cooking methods to find a recipe that you love.
