Cheesy, creamy au gratin potatoes made with three types of cheese for an incredible side dish everyone will love! My dad’s famous au gratin potatoes recipe is easy to make and filled with cheesy goodness in every bite. Perfect for holidays or anytime you need a delicious, vegetarian side!<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

When I was growing up, holidays like Thanksgiving and Easter were made incredibly special thanks to my Dad’s family; they had the best get-togethers which included a massive array of food and I was always excited to get on my best dress and make an appearance.<\/p>\n

Typically at these big gatherings filled with laughter, you’d find my aunt cooking both ham and turkey (try my delicious turkey recipe<\/a>!), creamy mashed potatoes sprinkled with paprika, green bean casserole<\/a>, at least 4 different kinds of pies from Baker’s Square (try my french silk pie<\/a>, cherry<\/a> or apple<\/a>!), and of course, my Dad’s cheesy, creamy au gratin potatoes<\/strong> recipe filled with layers of thinly sliced potatoes, cheese, onions and a crispy cheesy topping. Always, always one of my favorite things to go overboard and load up on during the holidays!<\/p>\n

Today I’m re-sharing the recipe inspired by my Dad, who passed away just over 13 years ago. He was the best cook, and I know his love of food needs to be shared with all of you. I hope you make these — we love them for Thanksgiving dinner and Easter brunch, but they’re also perfect for Sunday dinners with roasted chicken<\/a> or my maple glazed salmon<\/a>. Pure nostalgic love in this pan of creamy, cheesy potatoes.<\/p>\n
