Au Gratin Potatoes
Gail
10/01/11 		I'm preparing au gratin potatoes for 130. I'm using 6.5 lb cans of potatoes that I will slice. The can serves 18. If I use 8 cans in 4 catering aluminum pans (aprox. 10x18) will I have plenty for a generous serving for 130?
Also can I make the white sauce/cheese sauce a day ahead? Thanks

Yes, you can make the sauce ahead.
