The starchier potatoes don't come out as melty and fabulous. The ultimately decadent version is made with German Butterballs. I almost always use Yukons (and did when Anita and Cam were here).

Great recipe--the onions really make it, for me. That, and the cream. Okay, I did two gratins, one with Yukon Golds and one with russets, and the Yukons won.

I think Laura used a large white variety along the same lines. I think either all-waxy or all-starchy would work, too -- it will just yield a different final texture.
