My Page

So this page is more for a place to keep my recipes so I will always have them. It might change to have more than just the different recipes, but who knows. The recipes are not ones that I have made up myself. They are bits and pieces that I have picked up from places I have worked, people I have visited, and of course Mom, Sister, and Grandmas.

Au Gratin Potatoes

These are really good cheesy potatoes.  They take a little bit of time, but they are worth it.

Ingredients:
3-4 Medium Potatoes                           1 Clove Garlic
1 1/4 C milk                                         1/2 tsp Salt
2 Tbs Butter                                         1/2 tsp Pepper
2 Tbs Flour                                           3/4 Cup Shredded Cheddar
This is for a baking dish about 8 x8



-Preheat the oven at 350 degrees
-Spray the dish with some non-stick spray
-Cut the potatoes kind of like thick potato chips.  You can leave the skins on them if you like.



-Arrange the potatoes in layers in the dish.  Only fill about half full.  Save the rest of the potatoes on the side.

-In a pan melt the butter.  
-Add in the garlic and let it cook just a little while.  Don't brown it.  
-Add in the flour and make sure that you mix it in very well.  
-Add in the Milk and get it warm.
-Add in the shredded cheese (you can use other cheeses to change it up)
-Stir over heat until the cheese is all melted.  
-Pour half of the cheese melt over the first half of the potatoes.
-Finish arranging the rest of the potatoes and top off with the rest of the mixture. 

-Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes.  
-Remove the foil and cook for another 20 minutes uncovered.  
***If you make a larger batch of potatoes then you might have to cook it for a longer period of time.  

Let the spuds sit for a while after you take them out and enjoy!
