Potato Gratin - French Fridays

Every Friday I am going to be posting a recipe that I cooked out of Around My French Table. I joined an Internet group called "French Fridays with Dorie." I bought the cookbook because a couple of blogs I read mentioned it, and I am excited to try some new things. This week we had Potato Gratin. (Potatoes Au Gratin for the Betty Crocker fans.)

This potato dish was delicious. There is a subtle garlic flavor because you infuse the cream with the finely chopped garlic, and the cheese is also subtle because just a sprinkling is on the top, so the potato and cream flavors really dominate. It is a simple dish, but decadent because I don't often cook with heavy whipping cream!

I wish I could have taken a better picture, but a friend had borrowed my camera, so I took it with my phone...

And, if you will notice my link to the book title directs you to Barnes and Noble because I am quite annoyed at my beloved Amazon over the whole pedophile book thing.
