Instructions

    • 1
      Wash and boil your potatoes

      Wash red potatoes to begin making your augratin potatoes. Use a vegetable brush, place the washed potatoes in a large pan, and cover with water. Turn the burner onto high. When the water begins to boil turn it off. Cover the potatoes and let them sit while you make the cream sauce.

      Add Cream of Mushroom soup

      Pour the Cream of Mushroom soup into a large saucepan to begin the cheese sauce. You can substitute with Cream of Celery if you do not like the mushroom flavor, most people do not notice the tiny mushrooms. Turn the burner onto a low setting, 2 to 3.

      Add the cheese to the sauce

      Shredd or cut the sharp cheddar into very small chunks allowing it to drop into the sauce pan with the sour cream and soup. Stir until the cheese melts, do not allow it to simmer or boil.

      Cube the potatoes

      Pour the water off from the potatoes. Remove most of the skins from the potatoes and cut into cubes while the cheese is melting placing the cubes back into the large pot.

    • 6
      Pour cheese sauce over potatoes

      Pour the cheese sauce over the potatoes and stir it in so all potato cubes are covered.

    • 7
      Bake

      Bake uncovered for about two hours at 325 degrees in a convection oven or 350 degrees in a regular oven. When the sauce is bubbling, and the oil begins separating from the cheese, the augratin potatoes are ready.

Tips & Warnings

  • Add 1/2 cup of Schuler's bar cheese for more flavor.

  • Season with salt and pepper if needed.
