Potatoes Au Gratin

Potatoes Au Gratin is a classic French dish that boasts layers of thinly sliced potatoes, cream, butter, and cheese baked to golden perfection. It is a favorite side dish to present during the holiday season or for Sunday family dinners because of its comforting richness. When cooked properly, a good Au Gratin has a creamy interior underneath a crispy, brown crust. The use of a flavorful cheese like Gruyère or cheddar elevates this dish to new heights. Use Yukon Gold or russet potatoes for the best results when preparing this dish. This easy-to-make, homemade recipe pairs exceptionally well with meats and green vegetables.

Expiration & Storage Tips
When does Potatoes Au Gratin expire?
Potatoes Au Gratin, when unopened in a store-bought package, can last from 6 to 12 months past the printed date. Once the package is opened or if it's a homemade dish, it is best to consume it within 2 to 3 days. On the other hand, if you choose to freeze your Potatoes Au Gratin, it will extend the shelf life by up to 6 months.
How do you tell if Potatoes Au Gratin is bad?
To determine if your Potatoes Au Gratin has gone bad, look for changes in color to a gray or brown tone, or an odd smell that is similar to mold or mildew. Another giveaway is a change in texture; if the potatoes have become significantly softer or there is a slimy layer formed, toss them away.
Tips for storing Potatoes Au Gratin to extend shelf life
• Keep unopened store-bought Potatoes Au Gratin packages in a cool, dry place such as a pantry. • Once opened, store Potatoes Au Gratin in the refrigerator within 2 hours of preparation or being opened, ideally in an airtight container. • When freezing, store the dish in a freezer-safe, airtight container or bag to avoid freezer burn and retain quality. • To defrost frozen Potatoes Au Gratin, it is recommended to thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating, which helps to maintain the taste and texture.
