This easy Au Gratin potato dish is one of my favorites and a go-to for dinner parties.
They are easy to assemble, all in one skillet, and have minimal clean-up.
The two biggest tips to ensure a successful dish are: first, you must use heavy cream, or it will not thicken, and you should grate your own cheese as the pre-grated will get gritty from the anti-caking agent.
