Summary
This is an amazing simple dish that stands up well to much more complicated potato au gratin recipes. I adapted it from a recipe in the Sacramento Bee by Ann Freeman. You may not want to tell your guests how easy it is! That said, this dish was completely demolished at our recent Christmas brunch while more complicated dishes remained half uneaten. So long as you're not calorie counting, it's worth the five minutes invested to give this dish a try!

This dish surprised me. I wouldn't put it up there with my Dad's Gruyere Potatoes, which he usually serves on Christmas. http://cookeatshare.com/recipes/potatoes-gratin-w-dill-gruyere-68 But for the effort, these are amazing!I've cooked/tasted this recipe!
