Absolutely fantastic!! I halved the recipe, but other than that followed it exactly. It turned out wonderful. Creamy and delicious. My search for really good au gratin potatoes has finally ended. Thanks!

    Excellent Recipe! Will never use another. Very creamy and has just the right flavor. I also did reduce the milk to 3 cups, and it was just the right amount. Watch carefully towards the end of the baking time to be sure it doesn't brown too much.(If not done, just cover in foil).

    yum! i only use 1 cup of cheddar. And reduce the milk to 3 cups based on the reviews. I thought it wouldn't be enough, but it was just right. Very creamy. It reminded me of macaroni and cheese

    Turned out quite good! Too much sauce so I pulled some to the side and plan on making macaroni and cheese with it. I made these as directed, except added garlic powder instead of garlic. I served this with Easter Sunday ham and it was quite good I suggest halving the recipe, as it makes enough to feed a small army! Other than that...the only thing I did differently was sprinkle some parsley flake on top for added color. Quite yummy. Give them a try!
