This afternoon I had my sister in laws au gratin potatoes on my mind. Not knowing how she makes hers I just decided to look up a recipe and make any adjustments :)
Here is what I came up with!
-6 red potatoes sliced with the simple slicer on level 3 thickness or just slice them
-1 onion peeled and sliced on the level 3 thickness
-3 cloves of garlic pressed with the Garlic press
-a little salt and pepper
Place the potatoes, onion, garlic, salt and pepper in the baker and mix it up a little
Next for the cheesy sauce
- 4 tablespoons of butter
- 1/4 cup of whole wheat flour (you can use regular flour this is just what I prefer)
-a little salt (like 1/2 teaspoon)
- 2 cups of milk
- 2 cups of shredded cheese (I used white cheddar and grated with the coarse grater!)
Use a medium sauce pan
-Melt butter over medium high heat
-stir in flour and salt
-stir for about 30 seconds (I used the silicone whisk so it wouldn't scratch my cookware!)
-stir in milk, stir fast for about a minute
-let sit on heat until it starts to bubble, at this time it should be thickened
-add cheese and stir in to melt
-now pour over potatoes, onions, garlic mixture in the deep covered baker
-place lid on the baker and place in microwave for 25minutes! (This would take about an hour and half in the oven! Using something other than the baker!)
This is So good- maybe not the healthiest thing in the world but awesome!
Serves 6 big servings :)
