Do you have any ideas for au gratin potato recipes?

I have one nearly perfected , my problem is this:





What can I do to make my cheese sauce thick? I use three cheeses (cheddar, jack, and colby), buttermilk, and chix broth.





I have tried corn starch.Do you have any ideas for au gratin potato recipes?
Toss your cheese in some flour. You just want it covered lightly. Also, a little nutmeg works well in the potatoes.Do you have any ideas for au gratin potato recipes?
Just add less liquid and I add a little flour...oh....add ham sometimes.Your recipe sounds like a good one.Sometimes I add just a little Gouda cheese.
