Ingredients needed for the Au Gratin Potatoes:

• Yukon potatoes
• Sharp shredded cheese
• Whole milk
• Water
• Unsalted Butter
• Salt
• Onion powder
• Black pepper

Steps to make the potatoes:

• Start with peeling and slicing the potatoes. You want to use a sharp knife to peel the potatoes to get the slices as thin as possible. You can also use a slicer if you have one.
• Rinse them well, and place them in a baking dish. Add the water to your dish and season the potatoes with onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
• Cover them with foil and bake for about an hour. Remove them from the oven and stir the sharp shredded cheese and milk into the potatoes.
• Also, sprinkle the top of the potatoes with the shredded cheese. Place your dish back in the oven uncovered and bake the potatoes for 10 minutes.
• Once the cheese is melted and the potatoes are tender, remove the dish from the oven.

Au Gratin Potatoes Tips

Yukon Gold potatoes are perfect for making Au Gratin potatoes. The potatoes have a distinct flavor which is perfect for Au Gratin potatoes.

They are firm potatoes, do not get too mushy when baked, but are still tender. That is exactly what you want, so I definitely recommend using this potato over any others.

Enjoy!
