Potatoes au gratin is that rare side dish that feels equally appropriate at a fancy dinner party or Thanksgiving dinner and on a Tuesday night at home with the family.

The skillet preparation takes less time than it does to bake an au gratin casserole or scalloped potatoes—but it's still good old-fashioned comfort food at its best! —Marie Peterson, DeForest, Wisconsin
