Hi, could someone give me a simple recipe for a cheesy potato gratin. The simpler the better, thanks

We do this one a lot... it's about as easy as it gets... We're in the U.S. so you'll have to interpolate the oven temperatures...

6medium potatoes (we use hard red's here)
1 medium onion -- chopped
1/4 cup margarine
1 tablespoon flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 cups milk
2 cups cheddar cheese -- shredded
1/4 cup dry breadcrumbs
paprika to taste

Preparation:

Wash potatoes. Pare thinly. Cut into enough thin slices to measure about 4 cups. Cook and stir onion in margarine in 2-quart saucepan until onion is tender. Stir in flour, salt and pepper. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture is bubbly; remove from heat. Stir in milk and 1-1/2 cups of the cheese. Heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Boil and stir 1 minute. Place potatoes in ungreased 1-1/2-quart casserole. Pour cheese sauce on potatoes. Cook uncovered in 325F degree oven 1 hour 20 minutes or in 375 degree oven 1 hour.

Mix remaining cheese and the bread crumbs; sprinkle over potatoes. Sprinkle with paprika. Cook uncovered until top is brown and bubbly, 15 to 20 minutes longer.

That sounds good Clanad !

Here's another easy one.....in a greased baking dish just place layers of thinly sliced parboiled seasoned potatoes, finely chopped onion and lots of grated mature cheddar, repeating the layers until all your ingredients are used up or the dish is full ! Bake at 200 deg C for 30-40 mins...
