Preparing a delicious cheesy potato gratin is easier than you might think, and the outcome is truly amazing. Here are the main ingredients you will need:
Potatoes: Pick starchy potatoes such as Russets or Yukon Golds because they stay firm when cooked and make a creamy texture.
Cheese: A tasty, melted cheese is necessary for a smooth sauce. Gruyere, cheddar, or a mix of cheeses are good options. You can also try using different cheeses such as Parmesan to add more taste.
Cream: Heavy cream is the usual option, but you can also use half-and-half or a mix of cream and milk for a lighter alternative.
Garlic: Adding a couple of minced garlic cloves enhances the taste.
Butter is used to grease the baking dish and make the sauce richer.
Spices like salt, pepper, and a bit of nutmeg make the dish taste better.
Recipe to Make Cheesy Potato Gratin
Before you start, heat up your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Get the potatoes ready: Peel them and cut them into thin slices. Plan to cut the slices to be very thin, about 1/8-inch thick, so they cook evenly.
Prepare the cheese sauce: In a pot, warm the cream on medium heat. Put the cheese, garlic, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Cook until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is creamy.
