Potatoes gratin

Potatoes + Milk + Cheese = Heaven?  I think that’s all I have to write on this post.  Looking for a delicious elegant side dish?  You found it.  It takes a while to cook but it all hands off and the end result is fantastic.  I always use just milk.  I’ve made this with swiss and with Gruyère and they are both fantastic.  Enjoy!
