VELVEETA Classic Potatoes Au Gratin

Easy to assemble, but I like a bit more milk for creaminess.

I read the reviews and decided to give this one a try even though most said it did not turn out anything like the photo. Not only was that true for me but it in no way can be considered potatoes au gratin. I took the advice of some where they suggested not boiling the potatoes as long and I even added some cayenne pepper instead of regular pepper to help with the taste factor. I added a little extra milk and some regular chedder cheese (less than a 1/4 cup) to help too but to no avail. I didn't however pre melt the cheese before adding combining and perhaps that may have made a little bit of difference. Overall, it was aweful. It came out of the oven looking exactly the way i had put it in with the exception that the cheese squares had melted and settled to the bottom. I mixed it up just to see if it could be salvaged and still all I had was some sliced potatoes with no coating to them. I am really not sure how this could have a 4 star rating. aweful in every sense of the word!

Thank You these are just the best.

I first read all the reviews about this dish and then made sure I only boiled the potatoes for 8 min., and then I added all the other ingredients with the exception of only putting in 1/2 tsp of the ground mustard. I must say, this was very very good! The onions and the mustard gave it a lot of flavor and the taste was perfect! Loved it!

Ok so I followed the directions, and mine does not even look close to the picture. I will not try again. But the flavor was ok.

I loved this recipe it was super easy to make and my husband loved it...which is always a plus!! I think the only thing I will do next time is add a little more velveeta.

was ok.. still looking for a better one!

I read the previous reviews prior to making this. Instead of boiling the potatoes I steamed them. I did not want them to be mushy. You can steam on the stove or in Ziploc steamer bags either choice worked great. Also I melted the cheese, milk and seasoning before mixing them into the potatoes. My family absolutely went nuts over this recipe. The agree with my idea to not boil the potatoes, it help keep their consistancy.

This was a wonderful side dish for our Boca burgers. I sprinkled a bit of parm. cheese on top at the very end of baking for some added flavor. I will be making this again very soon.

By the time I drained the potatoes at the alotted time I almost had mashed potatoes. I continued with the recipe just to find at the end of the baking time my potatoes were soggy.
