I had a huge hunk of Jarlsberg in my fridge and needed to do something with it, so after scouring the internet I found this recipe..AND BOY AM I GLAD I DID! Didn't have Leeks so I substituted onion , and used yukon gold potatoes (because thats what I had on hand). Followed all the other directions and received rave reviews from my dinner guests! These are by far the best scalloped potatoes that I have eaten. Served them with Ham ... Yummy! Thanks recipe nut for this excellent recipe!

Excellent! I make this with fat free swiss instead of jarlsberg. It's met with rave review at potlucks!

Excellent gratin! To lighten it a bit, I used low fat milk and, like DebS, skipped the crumbs and final butter addition. Mine browned beautifullly without the topping as well. Lovely rich tasting and the potatoes were cooked just right. Thanks!
