Potatoes Au Gratin

So as usual I am trying another one of Pioneer Woman recipes and it turned out really good. Today I made potatoes Au gratin. I never really liked this stuff because it always came in a box or someone over loaded it with onions. Yuck!!! So I followed her recipe with a few tweaks of my own. I highly suggest this because it was really good. Here we go...


First get a casserole dish out or what I used was a glass dish. I lined it with butter, not very much.


Then clean the potatoes

Pioneer Woman had the skins on her potatoes but I really don't like skins so I pealed mine and cut them into cubes.

In a bowl mix 1 1/2 cup of cream

1/2 cup of milk

4 tablespoons of garlic- I always buy this jar stuff all ready to go but if you want to use fresh just cup up 4 cloves and that will do just fine.

And then salt to taste.

2 tablespoons of flour. I am pretty sure it is for a thickening agent. Stir everything up with a whisk to combine. ( I actually put some pepper and onion powder in but I wanted to make mine a little different)

Now starts the layers. First the potatoes

Then the cream mix

I threw in a little bit of cheese to make it really good.

Then the rest of the potatoes and cream mix.

Cover with foil and bake at 400 for 30 mins

After about 30 minutes you should uncover it and add some cheese to the top. Bake for 20 more minutes until nice and bubbly brown.

I actually (if you can see) paired this nice dish with some chicken that I took the skin off.

Oh wow look at that!! See i told you nice and bubbly!

Close up!!!!Cheesy goodness! I had it for lunch the next day too. That's when you know it is really good.
