Elegant Au Gratin Potatoes

You know we can't resist cheesy potatoes, so here is another variation on potatoes au gratin.

Ingredients:

- 8 medium red potatoes
- 8 oz shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 pint whipping cream
- 2 slices stale bread
- 1 tablespoon butter

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 3-quart baking dish. (You can use a 7x11-inch dish for a half recipe.)

Boil potatoes, then cool, peel, and shred with a medium grater.

Alternate layers of potatoes and cheese in the prepared dish. Sprinkle with salt.

Using a hand mixer, whip cream until fluffy. Pour over the potato-cheese layers.

Tear bread into small pieces. Place bread in blender, add butter, and pulse to blend. Sprinkle bread crumbs over potato-cheese layers.

Bake for 45-60 minutes.
