Au Gratin Potatoes

Au Gratin is a French phrase that refers to topping a dish with grated cheese or breadcrumbs, mixed with egg or butter. The term "gratin" comes from the French "gratter", meaning "to scrape". Au Gratin may also refer to other dishes including meat, fish, vegetables, and pasta dishes.

Au Gratin Potatoes are usually made by layering thinly sliced potatoes in a casserole dish, covering with milk, cream or bechamel, and adding the Au Gratin topping. Au Gratin potatoes are easy to prepare and there are many different recipes that can be used. They are known in Canada as pommes de terre au gratin and in Autralia, simply as a potato bake.

"When you consider the ease and versatility of Au Gratin Potatoes as a side dish that compliments just about any meat and poultry, it's easy to understand why this recipe takes top honors among visitors to our website," said IPC President/CEO, Frank Muir. "It's fitting that this recipe, which was introduced to Americans 180 years ago, is still one of the country's favorite potato dishes and is being recognized as such during our 70th anniversary." — Idaho Potato Commission
