Day 12: Au Gratin Potatoes


This is an easy dish you can make with ingredients you usually have around the house and you won’t be disappointed with the results. Green chile and buttery potatoes always seem to complement each other, and when you add cheese and bread crumbs you can’t go wrong!

Difficulty: Easy
Servings: 6-8

Ingredients:
6 cups of thinly slice potatoes
2 Tsp salt
2 Tbsp butter, melted
2 Cups cheddar cheese, shredded
1 slice bread, torn into small pieces
4 Tbsp green chile
½ cup onion, diced

Method:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly grease a 9X13 cooking dish.
Sautee the onion until almost translucent.
Place half the potatoes in the pan spreading evenly over the bottom. This should be about two layers of potatoes.
Sprinkle with half (1 Tsp) salt, half the cheese (1 cup), and half the green chile (2Tbsp). Top with half the sautéed onion.
Place the remaining potato slices on top of the first two layers.
Cover the dish with the melted butter, spreading evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining salt, green chile, and onion on top of the potatoes.
Place the bread pieces on top, spreading evenly.
Cover with the remaining cheese.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, until bread crumbs are golden brown.
