Au Gratin Potatoes

Who doesn't love potatoes.  When I was growing up, I used to love having Au Gratin Potatoes for dinner.  I tried various potato recipes which were all good but recentlyI went back to making Au Gratin Potatoes.  I found this recipe on the  Taste of Home website and it brought back great food memories.
Tender potatoes baked in a creamy cheese sauce with a hint of onion.  I love it when they come out of the oven all bubbly and smelling wonderful.  A great side for any meal.
