Notes

Tip
• This makes a great side dish for roasted or grilled meats.

Variation
• The authentic gratin dauphinois, from the region called ‘Dauphiné’ in France, is made with cream and no cheese. For a
slightly lighter version, replace part of the cream with milk. The texture and flavor however will be quite different.
• Gruyere cheese can be replaced by Emmental or any other hard cheese.
