I had some potatoes in the fridge and I didn’t know what to do with them, so, while I was doing some laundry, I started to have some ideas on how I would cook them. I was thinking maybe mashed or just roasted, until I thought about this delicious Potato Gratin recipe that I love! This a wonderful side dish and I hope you’ll enjoy it as much as I do.

LOL – I had extra potatoes on hand too. Last night I made a cream cheese potato soup, but this potato gratin looks really sinful and delicious:D The perfect way to use up those potatoes.
I love potatoes and cheese together. Nice photos.
Love potatoes! Try not to eat them as much as I used to….
My mother-in-law used to hand grate potatoes, add a little salt and pepper, put them in a casserole, pour heavy cream til it came to the top. Put it in a slow oven and checked often. When the cream disappeared, she added more. I don’t DARE make this anymore but I have to tell you these are the BEST potatoes I have ever had in my life!
Oh the texture of this dish looks perfect! I love potato gratin. can’t wait to try it!
Yum! I plan to try your hotdog soon. Wish me luck!
Let’s see…potatoes, cheese, cream, mmmm….what could be better? Looks perfect too!
Thank you guys
oh my, those look so comforting and delicious!
This looks like a glorified version of pommes dauphine, a French dish.
Hey, I am sure if I make this it will be gone in minutes. I should make it.
I love potatoes this way! Your recipe looks so creamy, cheesy and yummy!!
Thanks for stopping by my blog and left a comment. I am looking forward to try out some of your wondeful recipes.
you can’t really go wrong with potatoes and cheese. that said, i like the combination of cheeses you used and the touch of paprika. great spur-of-the-moment creation!
I love potatoes gratin! It is possibly my favorite way to prepare. I love the burnt crust you’ve got on here…browned cheese is the only way to go.
Thank you all for visiting my blog!
Good for a cold wintery day
Yum!! The potatoes and cheese gratin looks lovely!!Will make this soon.
A perfect side dish! So delicious with the three cheeses you use!
What a beautiful dish – browned just perfectly. It looks so creamy, too!
this looks like the perfect gratin! love the crunchy top
This was one of my absolute favorites as a kid and I love these now. Weird thing is my boys don’t care for it! That’s ok, more potatoes au gratin for me!
Such a wonderful comfort food! Perfect for cold, winter days! Again stunning photos!
Thank you for sharing this great recipe. I sent it to my email address thinking that I could just print it but instead it printed ll pages before I was able to get the recipe. I wish you had a box that says “Print” and only print the recipe. It’s a waste of a lot of paper and ink.
My hubby is such a potato person. he is going to love this.
Thank you everyone!
I made this today with the Colombian white cheese…It was so good.. Thanks
