Overall, I was not impressed with this recipe. The potatoes were not cooked all the way through and the cheese sauce was watery. I would not recommend this recipe.

I followed the recipe exactly and my potatoes au gratin turned out way too salty. I think I accidentally added too much salt. The cheese sauce was also a bit too thick.
