I've made this recipe several times and it's always a hit. I like to add a little bit of chopped fresh parsley to the cheese sauce for a pop of color and flavor.

I'm not a big fan of ham, so I substituted cooked chicken in this recipe. It turned out great!

This recipe was a disaster. The potatoes were undercooked and the cheese sauce was clumpy. I don't recommend this recipe.

OMG! This recipe is amazing! The potatoes were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and the cheese sauce was to die for. I will definitely be making this again and again.

I followed the recipe exactly and the potatoes turned out mushy. I think I'll try baking them at a higher temperature next time.

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste, but my husband loved it. I think next time I'll try using a lighter cheese sauce.

I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and always turns out delicious. I usually use a sharp cheddar cheese for the cheese sauce, but you can really use any type of cheese that you like.

This recipe is a keeper! The potatoes were perfectly cooked and the cheese sauce was divine. I added a little bit of Dijon mustard to the cheese sauce for a little extra kick.

This was my first time making au gratin potatoes and I'm so glad I tried this recipe. It was surprisingly easy to make and turned out perfectly. The potatoes were cooked through but still had a slight crunch, and the cheese sauce was creamy and flavo

I've made this dish a few times now and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The combination of potatoes, ham, and cheese is just irresistible. I usually add a little bit of garlic and onion to the cheese sauce for extra flavor.
