Potatoes are their own food group in my world. My parents are both from Northern Maine, so we lived on them growing up, and now as an adult, they’re still comfort food to me in almost any form. Add some cheesy goodness, and I’m all in.
These Delicious Potatoes Au Gratin are a huge hit with my family and they’re really pretty easy to make.
Don’t be fooled by the cook time on the recipe below. That’s all hands-off time. The actual prep should take 20 minutes or less.
