Gratin of Potatoes With Garlic and Tarragon

This recipe I first cut out of Bon Appetit a yearor so ago. I have changed a couple of items due to taste and unavailability of certain items here in Holland. This is a wonderful dish to be served aside any grilled beef or chicken. The smell coming from the oven will drive everyone at home mad! The recipe may easily be doubled. It is best if you use a glass baking dish.
