Elegant Potatoes Au Gratin
"This make ahead comes from a Byerly's cookbook. Refrigerate overnight and pop in the oven in time for dinner. I like to boil the red potatoes 2 days ahead, to eliminate the mushy factor. And notice how it bakes at 350 degrees instead of a higher temperature."

I started using this recipe after my husband grandmother showed it to me when we first started dating. It is a wonderful recipe that is very easy to make. I always use American cheese grated instead because that's how my husband likes it. Nice to see some Byerly's recipes on here! Thanks for posting this great old recipe! -
Simple and yummy! I used leftover baked potatoes and sliced them. I heated the cream and melted the cheese into it with salt & black pepper, then poured it over top. I also opted to leave out the breadcrumb topping this time around and added thinly sliced red onion for added flavor. A very versatile recipe, it was enjoyed by all. Thanks for sharing. :)
