I feel it is my duty to tell you that things are about to get extremely cheesy and creamy and carb-y.
Consider yourself warned.
Nothing feels as endearingly homemade or comfort food-esque to me as a casserole. The thought of living in a home where casseroles abound makes me giddy. For this reason, I am on a mission to add as many to my repertoire as possible. My current all-time favorite casserole is au gratin potatoes: A go-to cold weather meal for me.
I am convinced there is no food pairing as comforting as potatoes and cheese.
These potatoes make for a heavy side dish with all variety of grilled or roasted meats, but we usually like to have them as the main event. Serve with a salad and a chunk of fresh bread and you’re in for a satisfying meal.
The sauce is a very simple butter-flour-milk combination with gruyere and white cheddar thrown in. Add some sliced potatoes and bake until potatoes are cooked and the sauce is bubbly and browned and perfect.
I could take a bath in these.
