Potato Gratin with Cream and Fresh Herbs

This is an excellent recipe. I used Yukon Gold potatoes, which gives the gratin a beautiful golden color. I also added more salt than called for, but other than that I followed the recipe. I highly recommend it.

Great recipe. i've made it four times and it's always a success. i've substituted minced onion for some of the chives which i think is an improvement. Fresh herbs are a must.

I've made this twice and really loved it both times. i substituted chopped onion for the chives which from reading some of the other reviews might improve flavor. Fresh thyme is a must.

This recipe rocks, even when halved. I've never felt the need to add additional salt to it. Only hint is don't pre-slice your potatoes and soak them in water to prevent discolouration. They absorb too much of the water and when you go to make the recipe do not, therefore, absorb as much as the cream mixture as necessary.

This is my "go to" potatoe recipe. I make it every time and there is none left....ever! I do put in more salt than is called for. I really like that there is no cheese in this.

Very good and very simple. Put extra salt, I ended up using about a tablespoon!

This was my first attempt at any type of Potato Gratin. Made it yesterday for Christmas dinner with our Roast Prime Rib with Madeira Sauce and Horseradish sauce (also from this site). They were super easy and really creamy and delicious. I added some freshly grated parmesan between the layers and used some extra salt. Love this!

Didn't have any fresh chive, so used green onion and omitted thyme - delicious results! My husband had the leftovers for breakfast the next morning!

I was disappointed with this recipe after all the good reviews. Added onion & garlic too but found it lacking. Don't recommend this one.

This is a very simple recipe that always has delicious results. I've made it a dozen times - all to rave reviews!

These potatoes were incredibly delicious. I prepared the recipe as is but doubled the salt. Putting in 2 tsp was just right. Chopped or sliced garlic would also be a nice addition. Everybody came back for seconds on this dish. There were 4 of us with very little leftovers and this recipe is supposed to serve 8. If I were serving that many, I would definitely double it. It was the perfect accompaniment to char-grilled steaks and grilled asparagus.

This was a crowd pleaser. I do agree that you need to season each layer with salt & pepper. I did add fresh garlic and finely minced onion to the dish. It feed 8 people with no left overs so increase for larger group or for large eaters. I have emailed my friends this recipe!!

Excellent result, and has the advantage of simple preparation. a great substitute for scalloped potatoes when you just can't be bothered.

The finished product was delicious, but it required a lot of additional salt and pepper. Well worth making again, but next time I'll layer the potatoes in the dish in 2 or 3 layers with additional salt and pepper in between.

Every time I make this I am asked for the recipe. It's just delicious and easy if you use a mandolin for the potatoes. It's a perfect dish for company or for a formal dinner.
