Blue Cheese Mushroom and Onion Potato Gratin

"To save time saute the onions and mushrooms up to a day in advance, you can also make this omitting the mushrooms if desired. The cooking time is only estimated depending on the thickness of the sliced potatoes, if you own a mandoline use it for this recipe as the potato slices must be sliced very thinly."

  1. These were amazing! I agree with True Texas.. well worth the time to make.. This is a must try :)
     
  2. This is wonderful, even my picky hubby, who claims he does not like Blue Cheese liked it. It does take a long time to make so plan ahead. I did have to cook for almost an hour and half, but that was my fault, some of the potatoe slices where not thin enough. Make sure your potatoes are sliced thin. I love the flavors of this, well worth the time it takes to make.
