Have never had success doing this kind of dish, but happened to see you cook this on tv the other day and decided to Google it. Found this site and the recipe. SUCCESS SUCCESS! Got the thumbs up from the family, I’m so happy! I used cheddar and provolone cheese I had. A keeper!

My sister has made potato bake for family occasions for years (another recipe). Lately, it's gone downhill LOL. Made potato bake for the first time last night. Was short on time so cut the potato thinner and should have followed the recipe to letter - added more cream and half way through cooking time ended up scooping the excess cream out!! Was a hit with the family - my 11 year old niece said 'it's yummy' and Will definitely make this again, esp as it was so quick & easy to prepare. Also good to see in the comment section below that you can pre-cook this the day beforehand.

I am new to your site, what is fan bake and also what is the conversion to farenheit of 200 degree C oven temp.?

Hi JojoSanders – all the recipes on this website are fanbake unless otherwise stated.

Annabel Langbein September 02, 2015

Hi there, can you please let me know - is it 200 fanbake or just bake? Thanks very much :)

Jojosanders April 20, 2015

Hi Sandra - you could make this in advance. Reheat in the oven - you may need to cover to avoid browning on top or add a little milk or cream if it looks particularly dry.

This was so delicious & easy to make. I used aged mainland cheddar & added a little extra cream. Definite regular in the house, thanks!

This recipe is almost similar to my Gratin Dauphinois, which is suitable to lamb meat or beefstak. Ratatouille or bush beans will complete the meal. My Potato Gratin differs in using less garlic (I only rub the dish with a garlic clove), and I add diced bacon plus a little bit dried thyme. Last not least: A fine red Wine will accompany this meal.

Can the potato gratin with cheese be cooked the day before, and warmed up before serving or would it dry the dish out?
