"This recipe comes from member Laurielee of the CL Bulletin Board. I have not made this yet but it sounds so good we've decided to put it on our Family Christmas Buffet menu in 2009. Her notes say: "Although Yukon gold potatoes give this cheesy gratin extra buttery flavor and color, russets also will work.""

I was born in Tennessee but have lived most of my life in Omaha, NE. My mother was a good old-fashioned southern cook and I got my love of cooking from her. I still make many of the dishes she made when we were growing up. I am married with two step-children and almost three grandchildren (#3 will be here any time!). I work in the corporate office of a large real estate company here in Omaha.
