How To Make potatoes au gratin
-
1Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
-
2Butter a 1 1/2 quart baking dish with about 1 tablespoon of the softened butter. (I use Pam instead of butter to cut down on the grease in the bottom of the dish.)
-
3Arrange a layer of potatoes in the baking dish, and sprinkle some of the cheeses over them.
-
4Continue layering potatoes and cheeses until you've used them all, ending with a layer of potatoes.
-
5In a small bowl, whisk the cream with the salt & pepper, pour over the potatoes.
-
6Dot the remaining butter over the top and sprinkle wtih the paprika.
-
7Bake for 1 to 1/4 hours, or until the potatoes are tender and golden brown on top.
-
8Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
