The reviewer gave this recipe 4 stars. This recipe averages a 4.49 star rating.

Really good. Not a ton of flavor, but the appropriate amount for this classic dish. I made these for a funeral and used shredded hash browns in place of sliced potatoes. I also diced the onions rather than sliced and reduced the amount. I used evaporated milk (ounce for ounce) in place of fresh milk. Since hash browns were used rather than sliced potatoes cooking time was reduced to 1 hour.

Yum! This is exactly what I was looking for. Very easy, very cheese-y and my kids gobbled it down. I'm not sure if I messed up my roux, because my sauce was a bit "grainy", but it was still great. So good that I keep eating it cold out of the fridge!

This was good, however, much of the cheese sauce ended up just falling off the potatoes and burning at the bottom of the casserole dish. This was also my fault, granted, as I scaled the recipe to serve two and then used a bigger casserole dish than I should (all I had). Consequently the cheese was kind of blended into the potatoes but it lacked that nice soupy texture. Next time I will toss better with the potatoes before baking.

I minced the onions and doubled the sauce as other reviewers suggested. I also increased the cheese by 1/2 cup. It was delicious. Thank you.

This is a keeper. Better than most Au Gratin recipes because it's relatively easy and straight forward to prepare. I took the advice of others and used minced onion instead of rings. We grated extra sharp cheddar from a large block we had in the fridge and I actually ran to the store for whole milk since we usually only use skim. I did end up removing the foil within 15 minutes of the completed time and even broiled it for 2-4 minutes at the very end. Nice side dish! Good enough for company.

As many of the reviews state: this recipe is great! I used some of the others' advice and did not add rings of onions, but rather mined onions, which was good. I added more cheese than it called for to the sauce, which was good for a cheese lover like myself. I didn't end up cooking it for the whole hour and a half - maybe because I was making only two servings not four. You will not regret making this recipe! Try it and see!

Good! I'd put more onions in next time and I might top it with some parmasean and broil w/o the foil on top for 10 min at the end.

It was my first time making homemade Au Gratin Potatoes, and they turned out absolutely perfect! The only things I changed were sauteeing minced garlic with chopped onions (instead of rings), and added more cheese...I think total I added close to 3 cups, and it was great! My boyfriend definitely wants me to make these again :)

I was impressed with the simplicity of this recipe, even though it was very "homemade". If I'm going to follow a recipe, I prefer not to start with a can of soup! Anyway, I substituted about 1 cup of milk with buttermilk, and I used whole wheat flour for the rue, and it turned out perfectly. I also skipped the step in which she added the cheese to the milk gravy. Instead, I just sprinkled it on top of the 'taters and poured the milk gravy on top. This was DELICIOUS. It should be noted that the reason I used buttermilk is not because I thought the recipe might need it, but because I had some I needed to use! Same with the flour. I've got wheat flour on hand, so that's what I used! I think this is the sort of recipe that you can "tweek" and make your own, and just about anything you do will still come out wonderfully well!

I love this recipe with a few changes that I just my taste. I leave out the onion and add a half of a teaspoon of cayenne pepper. We like our food with a bite to it. However this is great as written.

just okay. very good ratio of ingredients but way too bland. Needs some garlic or onion powder, and more salt (you really can't put in on the potatoes "to taste" when you can't taste it at that time (who tastes raw potatoes?).
