I have done different takes on this recipe & it has always been great. I have used differnet cheeses & made in larger pans. I think it is a great basic recipe.

The potatoes that they serve at Blue Bayou are a family favorite in our house; here's a recipe for them: http://recipiequeen.blogspot.com/2009/01/blue-bayou-potatoes.html

They're also really good with pieces of ham mixed in (great way to use up leftovers)

I think when you're making this dish, you really only need 4 basic ingredients: Potatoes, cheese, onions (unless you don't like cooked onions), and heavy cream. An optional topping like bread crumbs or panko could be added as well.

With that, I think the secret is cutting the potatoes and onions as thinly as possible (if you have one, use a mandolin) and use a variety of good cheeses. My favorite au gratins are always made with fontina, gruyere, cheddar, and maybe another cheese. I think adding the blue cheese would be amazing! Layer that baby up and bake!
