Au gratin potatoes is an easy dish that goes with almost anything! The ingredients are cheap and you probably already have them in your pantry or fridge! This is a slightly lightened version *so I can eat a little more of it yay me!*. Give this a try if you’re bored of the same old mashed potato as a side every week. *I still love you mashed potatoes, you complete me!* 💕
We had this yummy cheesy potato dish with cajun grilled salmon and roasted garlic asparagus! Here’s my salmon stealing superhero Hailey ❤ 😀
