Easy Au Gratin for All

Don't be scared off by the fancy French cooking term: au gratin. In fact, gratin simply means that during food preparation an ingredient is used to top or "finish" a dish in order to brown the crust.

In the case of our Cheesy Au Gratin Potatoes recipe, its the creamy combination of shredded sharp Cheddar cheese and our yummy hash brown potatoes that bake to a golden crisp...voila: au gratin!

This delightful way of preparing a dish is also known by other names:
  • au gratin potatoes
  • potatoes au gratin
  • scalloped potatoes
  • delicious (okay, that's our term!)

You don't have to be "le gratin" (which refers to the upper crust of Parisian society) to enjoy Simply-fied Cheesy Au Gratin Potatoes.
