Potato Gratin With Boursin

"This is from a very old Bon Appetit Barbecue magazine. I've made it many times for special occasions - most recently tonight, for New Year's Eve with steak and salad. Can easily be halved for dinner for two."

  1. Very good! Had to wait almost a year to make this recipe- Boursin is a seasonal item at Costco, It's 7$ a package at the grocery store and 8$ for three at the club. Worth the wait. I've made this twice now (with garlic flavored Boursin) and it is a little rich. I'm going to use half milk with the cream tonight and see how that works.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

My formative cooking years were spent in Philadelphia--food lovers' heaven! Favourite cookbook writer: Nigel Slater. I also love reading and using the old classics--Fannie Farmer, The Joy of Cooking, The New York Times Cookbook, James Beard, Silver Palate--as well as my much-loved collection of Junior League cookbooks, especially from Down South. I live in a little place along the Grand Union Canal with hubby and four Maine Coon cats.
