Phew! This posting something every day thing is tough and I’m only one week in. I have no plan for how I’ll keep things going. I just plan to write. Since I’ve been cooking my ass off all weekend…I’ll give you another recipe.
That’s right folks: Potatoes au gratin. I sweat potatoes never tasted so good. Mind you, I’ve had au gratin before. What I made last night far surpassed my expectations. Again, recipes are meant to be tweaked and played with; the more you play, the more you enjoy…as I’ve recently discovered.
Without further ado…

2 lbs russet potatoes (cut into 1/4″ slices)
