A fancy twist on au gratin potatoes, this potato gratin is perfect for serving at holiday dinners. Potatoes, cheese, and buttery crust makes for a great and beautiful side dish. A perfect match for the herb roasted beef that I will be posting tomorrow.
Small slivers should suffice because the cream and cheese make it quite heavy. Inside the crust you will find a surprise of rosemary, pepper, and cheese.
