Duration: 15-20 minute prep, 30 min bake
When asked to bring a side dish to a friend's house for a weeknight dinner I of course turned to Pintrest. I was looking for some sort of potato side (something starchy) to go with the protein and I came across some Cheesy Au Gratin Potatoes by The Farm Girl and they were delicious and easy to make.
For this reciepe I only wanted to make a 8 x 8 dish versus the 9 x 13 that they made on the original blog, so I modified it a bit. I also didn't have corn flakes on hand so I used chex mix. :)
