potato gratin

Cheesy layered tubers

Potato gratin is a baked dish of thinly sliced potatoes layered with cream, cheese, or both, cooked until golden and bubbling on top.

The French *gratin dauphinois* is the classic version.

The dish appears at holiday tables and steakhouse menus alike: The roast came with a rich potato gratin on the side.
