So easy and beyond delicious! The bechamel sauce is velvety and decadent. You can also swap out Gruyere cheese for cheddar which will add a lovely sharpness!

I've made this potato gratin several times now and it's always a crowd-pleaser. It's cheesy, creamy, and has the perfect amount of crunch from the bread crumbs. I usually add a bit of chopped bacon or ham for extra flavor. Highly recommend!
