Since I'm married to a ' Georgia Peach ' ( as I call him ) who loves both cheese and bacon as well as 'taters' I added crumbled fried bacon, an extra cup of shredded swiss along with the cheddar & served it with baked ham and his favorite peas & carrots....he went back for thirds!

it needs to cook quite a bit longer at a lower temp

I decided to use chunked potatoes instead of sliced. I thought it was a little blan. next time I would add a little spice for a kick. But everyone loved it

This Potatoes Au Gratin is very good. I add more cheese. I will make this recipe again, again, etc... I used a mandoline slicer to slice the potatoes Thankyou kraft foods.com for another great recipe.

The whole family enjoyed this dish. First time that I have made au gratin potatoes from scratch, definitely beats the box kind. I used sharp cheddar cheese and about a 1/2 cup more than the recipe. Omitted the dry mustard because I didn't have any and tasted fine so next time I won't put it in either.
