This potato gratin recipe is always a hit with my extended family. I make two trays when we are all together because one just isn’t enough! Traditionally, thinly sliced potatoes are arranged horizontally in potato gratin, but in my version, the vertical placement allows for a superior crispy golden crust. The balance between tender and crunchy potatoes in a rich, creamy, cheesy sauce is divine.
Make ahead instructions: Cook as per the recipe, cover with foil and refrigerate up to 48 hours before your event. Cover and reheat in a 180°c fan oven for 45 minutes or until warmed.
Note 1 – Use a sharp knife to slice the potatoes (slice them as thinly as possible, aiming for 3mm thick), or use a mandolin slicer or food processor.
