A Very Simple Potato Au Gratin

I was craving for something cheesy as one of the side dishes for a grilled beef dinner and 2 things that keep popping in my head were cheese & potatoes. I initially thought on making double-baked potatoes with shredded cheese on top but I just wanted something simple and not much work to do. Potato Au Gratin came to mind at the nick of time.

INGREDIENTS :
3-4 medium potatoes, peeled and sliced thinly in rounds
1 1/2 cup of buttermilk (regular milk is fine)
1 cup of water
salt and pepper
Italian seasoning
generous amount of shredded cheddar cheese

Preheat oven to 355°.

In a medium size casserole dish pan, layer the potato slices neatly.

In a bowl, combine the buttermilk, water, salt and pepper together. Pour it over the potatoes. Add the cheese. Gently stir the whole mixture just to incorporate everything together. Lightly sprinkle with Italian seasoning on top.

Bake it in the oven for about 35 minutes or until golden brown.
