Onion Potato Gratin
Print Options
My father discovered this potato gratin recipe in Bon Appetit magazine and it has since become a family favorite. With cream, cheese, onions, and potatoes, how can one go wrong? Unless of course you are on a diet, in which case you should probably stay away from this one. This recipe is easy to make, delicious, and filling.
