au gratin potatoes
Creamy cheese casserole
Au gratin potatoes are sliced potatoes baked in a dish with cheese, cream, and often breadcrumbs until the top forms a golden, crispy crust.
The French term au gratin refers to this browned topping.
The dish appears on American menus as a richer alternative to mashed or baked potatoes: The steak comes with au gratin potatoes or a loaded baked potato.
