This potato gratin was a bit too cheesy for my taste. I think I would have liked it better with less cheese. Other than that, it was a good recipe.

I'm not a big fan of potato gratin but I decided to give this recipe a try. I was pleasantly surprised! The potatoes were cooked perfectly and the cheese sauce was rich and flavorful. I'll definitely be making this again.

I've tried many potato gratin recipes but this one is by far the best. It's easy to make and always turns out perfect. The potatoes are crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside, and the cheese is melted and gooey. I highly recommend this recipe
