Squash & Potato Gratin

This came up on the Bountiful Baskets Blog the other day and I am extremely eager to try it! It might just be what's for dinner tonight!! (I'll put my own picture up once I've made it!)

Theirs.

Mine. Not so pretty. I may have used too many veggies and

Mozzarella instead of Monterrey Jack. It was still yummy though!!

Instructions
