- Slice the potatoes evenly: This will help them to cook evenly. Use a mandoline or a sharp knife to slice the potatoes into 1/8-inch thick slices.
- Soak the potatoes in water: This will help to remove some of the starch and prevent the potatoes from sticking together.
- Use a good quality cheese: Gruyère, cheddar, and Parmesan are all good choices for au gratin taters. Use a combination of cheeses for a more complex flavor.
- Don't overcook the potatoes: The potatoes should be tender but still slightly firm. Overcooked potatoes will become mushy.
