Potatoes Au Gratin

If you don’t want ooey soft-centered cheese covering every single nook and cranny of your scalloped potatoes then this is not your recipe ha! It involves layering thinly sliced potatoes with a cream sauce, then baking until the cream thickens and covered in a rich melted cheese.

Ingredients for Au Gratin Potatoes:

Red potatoes
Yellow onion
Cream of mushroom
Evaporated milk
Velveeta cheese
Salt and pepper to taste

We like to start by creating a layered base of potatoes, onion evaporated milk, cream of mushroom, and seasonings. This evenly distributes the flavors so that every bite is consistent and memorable.

Slice the potatoes as thinly and uniformly as possible. You can use a mandoline slicer if you have one, but it is not completely necessary. Place the potatoes in a large bowl and mix until the potatoes are evenly coated.

How to Make Potatoes Au Gratin:

Preheat the oven to 375F
Clean and dry potatoes
