This was a dinner back at Crystal’s. She decided to make her family’s version of au gratin potatoes (with lots of calls to grandma to check the recipe). For this, she prepared some of the ingredients separately before combining them in her cooking dish. She boiled the potatoes and set them aside. She also made a cheese sauce out of cheddar, flour, milk and butter. The cheese sauce started to curdle as she was making it, but she was able to save it. She layered in her dish: potatoes, ham and cheese sauce. It went into the oven for about an hour. The texture of the cheese was a bit off when we had it but the taste was amazing. It was a delicious, hearty meal. I wanted to add some hot sauce because I’ve become obsessed with the combination of cheddar and spicy. That’s just my own preference though. This was Crystal’s first time making the dish by herself. It turned out really well.
We had the au gratin potatoes with salad topped with the orange citrus dressing.
