35 minutes

Potato gratin with cheese is an exquisite dish of French cuisine, combining delicate creamy notes and a rich cheesy flavor. Its history traces back to the traditions of the Dauphiné province, where potatoes were baked in cream, creating a harmony of textures and aromas. During baking, the potatoes become soft and absorb the cream, while the melted cheese forms an appetizing golden crust. This dish is perfect for cozy family dinners or as a side to meat dishes. Gratin can be served as a standalone dish or complemented with fresh herbs and a glass of white wine that highlights its delicate taste. Bon appétit!
