Cheesy Potato Gratin
Enriched with two kinds of cheeses, this gratin is easy to prepare, as it does not call for layering the potatoes in a baking dish. Instead, chunks of potatoes are simmered on the stovetop in a fry pan, along with the ingredients for the sauce. Then the gratin is baked in the oven until golden brown and bubbling.

Delicious and a go-to potato dish
October 18, 2012
This dish is fabulous. It has a strong flavor, so I would recommend pairing it with something that does not. Very rich and creamy and while it has a number of steps to go through which I think requires getting the ingredients out in advance to make it easy on yourself, it is not difficult to make. A+.
Pros: Yield, Adaptable, Impressive, Will Make Again

AMAZING -- sent it to my mom too
October 16, 2012
Simply amazing. The gruyere cheese really tops it off. I added extra cream because I needed to use the remainder of a carton. My roommates and boyfriend loved it.
Pros: Easy, Impressive
Cons: Unhealthy

Foolproof side
October 20, 2011
I am new to cooking and while I'm not nervous to try new things they don't usually turn out that well the first (or second) time around. This dish was easy and turned out beautifully. My husband raved about it as did our guests. Lots of praise for not much work. We used the leftovers for breakfast in the morning - reheated with a sunny side up egg on top and crumbled fresh bacon. DELICIOUS!
Pros: Easy, Appearance, Adaptable, Will Make Again

New taste for potatoes
April 3, 2011
Made this for the first time tonight. Received excellent reviews from my husband, kids, parents and brother, who are picky eaters. The gruyere cheese added a new flavor to the everyday potato, and was a nice compliment to the beef roast I paired with it. Very easy to prepare, and looks like it took hours. I followed the recipe with two easy changes...I used fresh chives instead of thyme...and baked it for closer to 45 minutes instead of 30-35 as instructed, to get the desired tenderness of the potatoes. I covered the pan with foil to avoid over browning the top, since I cooked it longer than instructed. Great side dish, the pan was completely gone before dinner was over.
Pros: Easy, Kid-Friendly, Appearance, Impressive, Will Make Again

Best Potato Gratin I've ever made
December 21, 2010
Read comments and used 3/4 c broth- (increased flour by 1 teaspoon). I also cut potatoes into smaller cubes. Next time I might increase rosemary a bit. Very good. The first time I made it I used the bagged shredded swiss/gruyere but this second time I used all Gruyere, which was better, although they were both delicious.

One of the best, easiest potato recipes ever
October 13, 2010
I LOVE this recipe & have made it 6x. I use inexpensive supermarket gruyere and get excellent results. I've made it exactly as written & tried a few variations:
I always use 1 full cup stock, substitute parsley for thyme (only because I have it) & chop the potatoes to 3/4 in cubes.
I always top mine with a bread crumb mixture of 2 T melted butter+1/4 c dry unseasoned bread crumbs+1/4 c panko+chopped parsley+grated parm+salt. I add the topping during the last 15 mins of baking. It's so good!
Variation: Instead of butter/shallot, I cook about 4 slices chopped bacon, remove/reserve the bacon and use bacon fat instead of butter to make the roux. I add the bacon back just before topping with parm and putting it in the oven.
I also made this ahead of time by preparing in the skillet, transfer to a baking dish & let it sit until you're ready to put it in the oven. I add 15 mins baking time if it's room temp and 30 mins if it's cold. This is a real time saver when preparing for company.

Delicious and easy!
October 4, 2010
I made this recipe last night for dinner. It turned out great! I used red potatoes instead of Yukon Gold, cheddar cheese instead of Gruyere, and a pinch of dried thyme instead of fresh thyme. My husband raved about it. Try it, you'll love it!

Delicious Side
September 6, 2010
Absolutely delicious. I made using light cream, and cheddar instead, since it was what I had in my refrigerator. It didn't take long at all, and I will absolutely make it again in the future. My husband raved about it, and had several helpings.

Fantastic!

Very easy, and delicious!
I doubled the amount of stock because it seemed a little thick when I put it in the oven. Turned out great. Potatoes were perfectly cooked.

Easy and Delicious!!
August 30, 2010
This dish was pretty easy to make and is now one of my favorite potato dishes. The only con would be the cheese that you have to use is a bit pricey, but i think well worth it! I look forward to making it again.

Amazing Potatoes!
August 5, 2010
This is one of the best potato recipes I've had from W-S. And I didn't change a thing! (Although, careful with the non-stick pan - make sure it is oven proof!)
