oh the deliciousness of potatoes gratin. basically i love anything with cheese. at restaurants...if i don't know what to order...i just look for entrees including cheese. they are likely to be the best. this dish is AMAZING. i would always beg my mom to make this when we would have my friends over for dinner because it is an absolute crowd pleaser. this creamy and delicious variation on a classic is sure to be a favorite for your family as well.
