I’m so excited about these easy cheesy au gratin hasselback potatoes! I LOVE these and I know that you will too. These easy potatoes make an amazing holiday side dish that the whole family will love.
When I was a kid, I loved au gratin potatoes. You know, like the kind in the box? I LOVED them.
And now that I cook for part of my living, I obviously no longer make them out of a box. But I wanted to make a holiday recipe to pay homage to one of my childhood favorites.
And guys – it came out so GOOD. This is one of those ‘grab a fork and eat it out of the pan’ recipes.
Note: This recipe requires a mandoline. Please, please, please: wear a protective kitchen glove when using a mandoline. They are sharp people, and you all need all of your fingers.

Ingredients
- 4 cups Yukon Gold potatoes (about 2 lbs)

Questions:
Do you peel the potatoes?
Do you mince the garlic?
It looks like you’ve put sun dried tomatoes on the top of this. Although that would probably be yummy, but in your recipe, is that just the cheese browning?
