Thread: Au Gratin potatoe recipe Needed

I have decided to change up the menu for Easter...I am looking for a tried recipe. I have found lots on the internet but dont really want to expierment with company coming.....Please post yours ????!!!! Its needs to feed 7 very hearty eaters

Many years ago, my DMIL told me to make a white sauce and add cheese to our liking. Scary...as I'd never done a white sauce, but used Betty Crocker's medium sauce:
For each cup of sauce:
2 Tbsp butter or margarine
2Tbsp flour
1/4 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
1 c milk
Melt butter in saucepan over low heat. Blend in dry ingredients until mixture is smooth and bubbly. Remove from hear and stir in milk. Heat to boiling, stirring constantly at boiling temp. for 1 minute.

Hope this helps!

Remove foil and finish baking until golden brown. Yummy!

This is what I do except I use shredded cheddar cheese.

I like these potatoes for holidays. My orginal recipe called them Party Potatoes.

1 2 lb bag of shredded hash brown potatoes
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 pint sour cream 8 oz shredded cheese

Mix together and put in a baking dish. Bake at 350 for 50 minutes. The original recipe had cornflakes and 1/2 cup melted butter on the top, but I don't like cornflake topping on anything and that's a lot of butter. Can add onion, but not for my crew. My sister and daughter put in a stick of melted butter, but with the cheese and sour cream, I don't.

irishrose I use your recipe but I add crushed potato chips on top. Mmm good.
