This is my husband's favorite dish, and he considers it a special occasion every time I make it. The creamy cheese sauce and the tender potatoes in this classic French dish combine to make a deliciously addictive experience. It's a great side dish with a roast pork loin or beef tenderloin. Add a green salad and French bread, and you have found the magic path to a man's heart. To avoid lumps in your sauce, add the milk just a little at a time as you stir the flour and butter. Experiment with different cheeses for variety.

BLACK ANGUS POTATOES AU GRATIN



Black Angus Potatoes Au Gratin image

This recipe is from the RSVP section in a February 1981 issue of Bon Appetit. It was requested from Stuart Anderson's Black Angus restaurant in Yakima, Washington. I made this for Easter dinner to go with our ham. I cooked and layered the pototoes in the casserole dish and made the sauce the night before and refrigerated both separately, covered, overnight. The next day, i warmed the sauce slightly and poured it over the potatoes and baked as instructed, increasing the baking time to 30 minutes. It came out perfect!
