Swiss Gratin Potatoes

Side dishes are an important part of any great meal. The steak, chicken, pork or whatever may be the star of the show, but it does need a good sidekick to complete the goodness. Enter the Swiss Gratin Potatoes. I {heart} swiss cheese (or mouse cheese as my children call it). Yes it stinks, but it tastes incredible. It is the perfect cheese for these potatoes.

4c. peeled and sliced potatoes

1/4 c. butter

1/4 c. flour

1 c. milk

1 c. heavy cream

1 c. chicken broth

1/2 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. pepper

Layer the potatoes in a 9x13 baking dish. Melt the butter in a saucepan. Stir in the flour. Add milk, cream, & broth, whisking until smooth. Cook till thickened. Add salt & pepper. Pour over the potatoes. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. Sprinkle with the cheese and bake another 15 minutes.
