Heritage Recipe Inspired by Disney's Empress Lily Au Gratin Potatoes



 
At one time served at the Empress Lilly in the Walt Disney World Shopping Village, as it was then called, this is an Au Gratin Potatoes dish is a quick and simple recipe.




You will need: 2 large baking potatoes (or 3-4 small), 1 cup half and half, 1/4 tsp salt, 1/8 tsp pepper, 1/2 tsp celery salt, 1/4 tsp onion powder, 1/4 cup grated cheese.

Bake potatoes until done. Cool to room temperature (or if you are like me and waited too long to begin, put in freezer for a bit and then burn fingers because you still don't wait long enough), peel and grate coarsely.


Bring half and half almost to boil. Add salt, pepper, celery salt and onion powder. Reheat, stirring until well blended. Add grated potatoes and mix well.



Spoon into buttered 1 quart baking dish. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes or until bubbly.
