What? I haven’t met a potato au gratin I didn’t like. How does your mom make them? Pic?

I don’t think a picture will help you. It’s probably the combination of the wrong cheese and too much butter and also the texture is just awful.

I’m looking at other recipes and I don’t think she puts any seasoning in it whatsoever. And there are absolutely no onions. That might improve it.

May I guess? Not enough flavor?
I love a good au gratin potato, but when bland they disappoint.

And I’ve only ever had hers, so I don’t have anything to compare them to. I’ve never liked au gratin potatoes, BECAUSE I’ve only ever had hers.

Never mind that I naturally prefer Asian food to European food.

It’s just potatoes and cheese and way too greasy. Like so greasy that it makes you kind of wanna … in your mouth a little bit.

No milk and cream either? Thats a must. So basically you just had greasy, cheesy potatoes?

grittyalchemist.bsky.social•125 days ago

I’ve never watched her make it, so I cannot verify this, but imagine a cheesy rue with way too much fucking butter. And no spices, or onions. Basically no flavor. So yeah, cheesy greasy potatoes. 🤢
