Cheesy Au Gratin Potatoes
This Cheesy Potato Au Gratin is a family favorite side dish. It has all the cheesy goodness you’d ever want. I have written about this before but I couldn’t not find the old photos(excpet for 1) so I decided to take new ones last Sunday when I made this for our Easter Sunday Dinner.
In the previous recipe post(old photo ☝️) I added panko breadcrumbs and more shredded cheese on top which was really really good. You can do that with this recipe too.
