I sometimes use cornflake crumbs on au gratin potatoes. I like breadcrumbs
on plain escalloped potatoes (made with a simple white sauce). I didn't
know what to do with the much-touted Panko so I just sprinkled it on top of
the mac & cheese. Too crunchy! As I said... probably better for frying
fish. But since I don't deep fry anything I consider it money ill spent.
