We first made this recipe when we hosted Easter one year. It was a side to go with our traditional ham dinner, but this side can accompany any meal. It won’t last long, I promise!
When I make this people go back for seconds and thirds.
Next month we’ll be digging up potatoes at our local farm specifically for this dish, because it’s that special. And now I’m pretty sure I’m going to have to add more people to my guest list since the word is out.

I think the crust and the potatoes would make a seriously yummy dish! Not forgetting, the cheese and heavy cream. Looks delish! Thanks for linking up with us at Home Matters Linky party!
We love au gratin anything, so I am definitely going to try this!
I love making pumpkin bread, pie and cookies this time of year.
The layered potato gratin is definitely something I would try. My favorite recipe during the cooler months is chilli
My favorite fall food is pumpkin pie.
I love this recipe. It would be perfect for Thanksgiving as I always make the same thing and this would be different.
I think the Layered Potato Gratin sounds delicious. I think my family should give it a try this holiday season because it is something different and tasty looking.
