Fennel-Potato Au Gratin

The tender potato slices in this cozy casserole have a mild fennel flavor with a hint of nutmeg. Add a creamy sauce and a sprinkling of Parmesan, and you have a homey side dish your family will ask for again and again. —Karen Haen, Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin

    Very good. I cut the recipe in half and baked it in an 8x8" casserole dish.

    I only had half a fennel bulb to use, but this is really good. I will definitely make it again!
