My husband and I love, love potato gratin. So, potato gratin it was!
I usually did the basic one, with the simplest recipes I could find in the kitchen. Milk, cheese, salt and pepper. I did not usually have cream cheese or heavy cream, so I skipped that. Wash clean all the potatoes and sliced them. Layer nicely, this time I also topped with fried garlic and onions grits, then slices of cheese. Make this same layer twice. Then topped with milk which had been added salt and pepper.
Is the easiest recipe of all. Literally, boil, mash, add.
Yes, boil the potatoes until tender. Mash them, then add butter, salt and pepper. Add some dash of milk too to make it creamier.
Very yummy yummy mashed potatoes. Just a small amount for the boys.
