There is nothing like cheesy creamy potatoes. You will love them. They are a tantalizing treat for your taste buds. I used a mixture of Gouda and white cheddar. I find the two cheeses work perfectly in Au gratin potatoes. I also added bacon and green onions to create a little bit more of a complex flavor!
They always turn out so dreamy and creamy. They would go great with a steak or grilled pork tenderloin.
My daughter helped prepare these. Perhaps you can find a sous-chef in your household.
Well why are you still drooling over the pictures. Go prepare your potatoes. You will love the results!
