Who Wants an Awesome Recpie?


Au Gratin Potatoes


 So The Marine and I went to Ruth's Chris Steak House for our 5th anniversary dinner and they not only had the best melt in your mouth steaks in the world but the very best au gratin potatoes ever!!! So I wanted to adopt the recpie and make it at home. Here is what I came up with and while they are not the same exact they are pretty damn close and really yummy!

3 to 4 medium russet potatoes, peeled
2 cup heavy cream
1 cup milk
3 tablespoons flour
3 large clove garlic, pressed
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon butter, softened
3 cups grated Cheddar cheese
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh parsley (I often forget this step)
 -So first you wanna mix the cream, milk, flour, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl.
 -slice the potatoes thinly. If they are too think they don't cook right.
 - In your baking dish coat everything in butter and you can just leave some extra in there
 - Layer some potatoes on bottom followed by some of the cream mix and repeat till all is done. Dn't just put all the potatoes in and pour mix over them cause the bottom ones don't get good and coated then.
 -Put in the oven covered at 400degrees for 20minutes
 -Take the lid off and cook for another 40minutes
 -Take out and put cheese on top and bake for another 10-15minites and serve!!
 trust me they are soooo yummy!!! The kids love the cheese and The Marine and I love it all!
 ENJOY!!!!!!!!!
