Potatoes, Onion & Chesse Au Gratin

Taters, Onions & cheese. Fried Shrimp and Tarter Sauce

We came back from the camp and did not have a whole lot of food in the house, as usual..LOL. I found some taters in the fridge with a bunch of small pieces of different kinds of cheese.  Danny loves cheese and taters so I looked up some recipes and came up with this from a couple of them.

I took 2 1/2 lbs of red taters that I peeled and cut 1/8 inch thick. Put them in a pan with 2 cups of whipping cream and 1 cup of 1/2 and 1/2. The regular milk had gone bad..LOL Glad I had all that other milk in the fridge. I was going to use some pet milk till I dug in the fridge. I added a few bay leaves and let cook for about 15 mins on a low boil. The taters were almost cooked and the cream was good and thick..YUM
I seasoned with black, red & white pepper and some salt.



In a seperate pan, I sliced an onion into 1/4 in slices and cooked them in 2 TBS butter, seasoned with salt, black,red & white pepper. I cooked it on a low fire for about 20 mins.

In a baking pan that I sprayed with pan..LOL. I put 1/2 of the taters and then covered with all of the onions.

I put some cheddar cheese then some asiago cheese then some gruyere cheese.

Then I covered with the rest of the taters and topped with some Parma cheese.

Bake at 350 degrees for about 1 hour till browned on top.

I really was soooo good !! Danny put 3 big spoonfulls of the 3 different cheeses and said he liked them all but could not say if one was better than the other. It was too funny cause he kept going back for more saying he was just trying to tell the difference between the cheeses...It is too much fun watching him eat when he really likes something. I can't wait to eat the left overs for supper with some pork chops. I sure it will be even better today : )
 OH...the tarter sauce is just some dill pickles, parsley,garlic in a small food processor and then add it to some mayo and horshradish. Salt and pepper to taste.
