chived potatoes au gratin
(1 RATING)
Wanting to take au gratin potatoes to another level, I added not only chives, but pimentos too. This looks pretty served in a clear glass casserole and can be served with meat entry. My husband, family, and friends request this and it is nice for covered dishes.
