Great base recipe for potatoes au gratin! We have an annual end of the yesr "clean out your fridge" party in our area of Cape Cod. I used this recipe as a base, but used a combo of cheddar (1/2 bar Cabot extra sharp cheddar , parmesan (a few handfuls, and an 8 oz wedge of blue cheese, (this was what I had left in my fridge! I used a combo of heavy cream and half and half, and the result was a fabulous dish!! Thanks Paula for a good basic recipe that we can adapt to our "clean out the fridge" party!

I substituted blue potatoes for red-skinned and left the skins on. I also substituted bleu cheese for cheddar. This meal was super easy and super tasty. Much easier and less time consuming than her Potatoe Casserole (although, that one is even better!.

This is an outstanding side dish. I made it for the first time yesterday for my wife's birthday and it was a real hit. I couldn't find blue potatoes so I used Yukon Gold. As for the people who said that it was greasy, they probably didn't cook the roux (butter & flour for the 3 minutes. If you undercook a roux, it will separate during the baking process.
