How to make Gratin

A simple gratin always feels generous and comforting. The potatoes soften slowly in the oven, the cream turns silky, and the top becomes deeply golden, giving you a dish that works beautifully for both cozy dinners and sharing at the table.

1. 1Rub a baking dish with garlic and butter lightly if desired.
2. 2Layer the sliced potatoes in the dish with seasoning.
3. 3Pour over the cream and scatter with cheese and thyme.
4. 4Bake until the potatoes are tender and the top is deeply golden.
5. 5Rest briefly before serving.

Tips for the best result

• Cover loosely if the top browns too fast before the potatoes are tender.
• Let it rest before serving so the layers settle.
