CREAMY AU GRATIN POTATOES
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.

Tips:
- Use a good quality white cheddar cheese. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish.
- Don't overcook the potatoes. They should be tender but still have a little bit of bite to them.
- Be careful not to boil the white wine. Bring it to a simmer and then remove it from the heat. Otherwise, the alcohol will evaporate and you'll lose the flavor.
- Let the gratin rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the flavors to meld together.
- Serve the gratin with a green salad or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
