Just got my dish started. [View all]

I’m making potatoes au gratin. My recipe.

Warning. Not a measurement person so no amounts. Also not recommended for anyone who even attempts to eat healthy.

Potatoes sliced of course.
Make a mixture of
Heavy cream
Bacon bits I’ve also used cubed up ham.
Chives
And grated smoked Gouda or smoked gruyere cheese.

Drop in potatoes to hand mix it with the mixture. Keep some for putting over the top after all the potatoes and mix is put in the pan. Cover with aluminum foil for baking. I don’t lay the potatoes flat but stack them vertically in rows so every potato gets some browning. I remove the aluminum foil set to broil for browning the top.

To keep the kitchen clear thanksgiving day I almost finish them the day before. That way I just have to heat up and brown.

I made this first years ago and now a week or two before thanksgiving or Christmas I get the are you going to make it again.
