I make this potato dish every Christmas with my prime rib. It is a favorite of my husbands. It is deliciously rich so it is a once-in-a-while indulgence.

Oh, this is an indulgent holiday side dish recipe... and worth every calorie. It's rich, creamy and has a great crisp crust. We loved adding artichokes to a gratin recipe. Not traditional, but delicious.
