Speedy Cheesy Augratin Potatoes

There is nothing more comforting to me than potatoes. Sweets are not even on my radar. Potatoes are heavenly. Tonight I am making The Fireman a manly meal, Steak with Mushroom Topper, Roasted Cauliflower and Speedy Augratin Potatoes. Now to be honest, I would be a happy camper with the steak and mushrooms. Its very hearty and very satisfying. But my man needs a starch to go with his meal and being the girl I am, how can I refuse him?

This potato dish is as easy as it comes for Augratins. You dont need to slice it all up pretty. It's a dump it and bake it dish. I dont even really measure. I am giving you measurements but feel free to wing it.
