Wonderful, just absolutely wonderful! This was so good that there is nothing left for tomorrow's lunch! I have made, and enjoyed, a lot of different versions of gratin but never the one with stock. I think I like this one the best of all. Absolutely! And it is Julia. A variation on Gratin Dauphinois, stock rather than milk. Thank you so much for this. It's a keeper.
