CREAMY AU GRATIN POTATOES
This is my husband's favorite dish, and he considers it a special occasion every time I make it. The creamy cheese sauce and the tender potatoes in this classic French dish combine to make a deliciously addictive experience. It's a great side dish with a roast pork loin or beef tenderloin. Add a green salad and French bread, and you have found the magic path to a man's heart. To avoid lumps in your sauce, add the milk just a little at a time as you stir the flour and butter. Experiment with different cheeses for variety.

GRANDMA'S CHEESY POTATOES
My grandmother makes this every year with a brisket for Christmas dinner. This is hands down my favorite potato recipe ever. I leave the skins on the potatoes, but this is optional. Garnish with chopped green onions or Italian parsley, and top with more cheese for a restaurant 'look.' I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we do.

GRANDMA'S ROTTEN POTATOES
Grandma would make these potatoes in this huge bowl a day ahead of the family dinners and let it set in the fridge over night to marinate, then bake it the next day, hence the kids decided they had to rot over night. Now if there was any left over the next day they made potatoe cakes out of the left overs.

Steps:
- 1. Peel and quarter potatoes. Place in boiling water. Cook until tender. Drain, add cream cheese, butter, garlic salt, sour cream, salt, pepper, and mash. Blend together well. Place in casserole dish and cover with plastic wrap. Place in fridge over night. The recipe actually says to leave it there for at least 3 days. I usually cook it the next day. But I might have to test the 3 day to see if it taste different.
- 2. On the day you're ready to serve it, place it in the oven(uncovered) at 325 for about 45 minutes, take out add cheddar cheese to the top and bake another 15 minutes. We eat so much of this that 5 potatoes won't do for us I have to use 5 pounds and adjust the amounts. Enjoy.
