Homemade Au Gratin Potatoes
Servings 5 -8
Ingredients
- t •5-8 potatoes I don’ peel…umm lazy :) peeled or not peeled
- cups •2 or 1 pint of Half and Half
- Tbsp •2 . Butter
- Cup •1/2 Water 1 cup if using double the potatoes
- Cup •1 Shredded Cheddar Cheese
- •Salt and Pepper to taste. ( You can add other seasonings too like garlic salt, seasoning salts)
- cup •Optional Ingredients: 1/2 Shredded Romano/Parmesan Cheese Bacon, Green Onions, Ham… let your creative side come out..
Instructions
- Slice up the Potatoes to about 1/8 of an inch thick (any thicker will take really long to cook) See at end of post the type of Grater/Slicer I use
- Spray the size pan that will fit your potatoes. I am using a 10X9 for 5 potatoes. Spread potatoes out and pour in Water and Half and Half.
- Now Salt and Pepper..then dab Butter around evenly.
- Spread Cheese on top and then cover with foil.
- Bake at 375 for 45 minutes. Uncover at the last 5 minutes if you would like a golden brown top. Now if you are in a hurry..just microwave until potatoes get softened..NOT with the foil on of course. Then put in the oven for about 15 mins at 375.
