Editors Review

Today, Scott is making potatoes au gratin for one of his cousin. He got the recipe from one of the best restaurants and developed his own potatoes au gratin which is really easy to put together. He is making a delicious authentic French mornay sauce to go with the sliced potatoes. For a more flavorful dish, he add golden browned onion and garlic to his potatoes au gratin and when its browned, it looks absolutely mouth watering.
