Oh My Goodness!  This recipe for creamy mushroom and potato au gratin is a must make this year.

Don’t tell anyone, but up until a couple of years ago, I didn’t like potatoes.  I know you are thinking, “What is wrong with her!”

Sorry!

When I was growing up, my dad owned a potato farm. My very first job in life was working on a sorting line on the potato farm. I saw so many potatoes over a couple of summers that I never wanted to see another one ever again.

EVER!

How to Make Creamy Mushroom and Potato Au Gratin

Let’s get started, shall we?

Mushroom and potato au gratin baked with a browned cheese topping.

First, preheat the oven to 375 F degrees.  While the oven is preheating, slice eight ounces of fresh mushrooms.  I used baby Bella, but any mushrooms should work.

While you have the cutting board out, go ahead and dice up one half of an onion and mince three cloves of garlic.

Thinly slice two and a half pounds of red potatoes approximately 1/8″ inch thick. I leave the skin on, but that is a personal preference.  I slice my potatoes on a mandolin for uniform thickness.  The mandolin is one of my most used kitchen gadgets.

Next, melt three tablespoons melted butter in a medium saucepan on medium-high heat. Add in the sliced mushrooms, onion, and minced garlic.

Continue cooking until mushrooms are tender, approximately five minutes.  Then add in one and one half tablespoon flour, one teaspoon salt, one teaspoon pepper, and one teaspoon thyme then mix well.  Cook for an additional two minutes stirring constantly.

Slowly add in one and one-half cups of milk, continually whisking until smooth. Then mix in one and one-half cups of heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Allow to simmer for one minute and remove from heat. Whisk in seven ounces (this was how much is in the package that I buy) of shredded Gouda. I love shredding my cheese with an attachment for my stand mixer.

Next, layer the sliced potatoes in a 9×13 inch baking dish.  Pour the cream of mushroom sauce over the potatoes.  Bake the potato and mushrooms for ninety minutes at 375 F degrees.

There you have it, my favorite mushroom and potato recipe with so much creamy cheese, oh my.

BOOM! Now you are going to be the hero of your next get together.

If You Love Potatoes

If you are a potato lover like my husband, take a look at my slow cooker loaded potato soup. Throw a few ingredients in the slow cooker in the morning and the Crock-Pot basically cooks dinner for you.
