Creamy Au Gratin Potatoes image

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.

Nutrition Facts :

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Russet potatoes are the best choice for this casserole because they are starchy and hold their shape well. You can also use Yukon Gold potatoes, but they may be a little more creamy.
  • Slice the potatoes evenly: This will help them cook evenly. You can use a mandoline slicer to get perfectly even slices.
  • Don't overcook the potatoes: They should be tender but still have a little bite to them. Overcooked potatoes will become mushy.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the most important ingredients in this casserole, so don't skimp on it. Use a sharp cheddar cheese or a combination of cheddar and Gruyère cheese.
  • Season the casserole well: Don't be afraid to add salt and pepper to taste. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Bake the casserole until it is golden brown: This will give it a nice crust and help to keep the potatoes from becoming mushy.

Conclusion:

This rich and creamy potato casserole is the perfect comfort food. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. Whether you like it cheesy, creamy, or garlicky, this casserole is sure to please everyone at your table.
