Ingredients

3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
2 cups whole milk
Salt and white pepper
1 1/2 pounds new red potatoes, cooked and sliced 1/2-inch thick
3 ounces grated Cheddar cheese
3 ounces grated Monterey cheese

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Grease an 8 cup rectangular baking dish with 1 tablespoon butter. In a nonreactive saucepan, over medium heat, melt the remaining butter. Stir in the flour and cook for 2 minutes. Whisk in the milk and cook until the liquid is slightly thick and coats the back of a spoon, about 4 to 6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat. In a mixing bowl, toss the sliced new potatoes with salt and pepper. Fold in the cream sauce and pour into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the top of the potatoes with the grated cheese. Place the pan in the oven and bake until golden brown and bubbly, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool for a couple of minutes before serving.

Bland
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I added garlic salt and pepper, but it still wasn't very flavorful. I would probably have preferred to melt the cheese with... the cream sauce instead of putting it on top. The cheese was more clumpy than creamy. It was okay, but I will keep looking or fall back on my mom's creamy potatoes au gratin recipe.Read more

Better Than My Moms!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

When I made this recipe, I put it under the broiler for a couple of minutes after it was cooked because my husband likes the... top extra crispy. He said, "I think this might be better than my Moms" which is huge because he loves his mother's potatoes au gratin recipe. We are definitely going to make this again. It was very easy to make- remember to cook the potatoes first!Read more

Easy and Da-lish!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

My husband requested Au Gratin potatoes with dinner last night. I found this recipe and since I had all the ingredients, I... went ahead. So easy. I par-boiled the potatoes whole and then finished cooking them in the oven, as directed. I like the top to be golden bubbly, so I left them in the oven for about a half hour while I finished the rest of the meal. He loved them! Next time I might add some rosemary or garlic for flavor.Read more

The person who posted the comment about needing to cook it for an hour and how they need to proofread and gave 1 star can't... read because the recipe says use cooked potato thats why it does not take long to bake. Duh, now who can't read.Read more
