Au Gratin Potatoes

While I wasn't anticipating on turning my blog into a recipe book. I really wanted to share this new recipe with you!! A couple months ago, we had a horrible experience with "instant" Au Gratin Potatoes. So when I ran across this recipe, I couldn't pass it up.

There are very few vegetables that are as versatile as the potato, you can eat it for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and appetizers too! It is great fried, baked, whole, smashed, diced, and sliced. It is just an all around A+ food!! And while this is nothing monumental, potatoes really are one of my favorite foods, long live the spud! :)
