- Slice the potatoes thinly: This will help them cook evenly and ensure a creamy texture.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: Make sure there is enough space between the potato slices so that they can cook evenly.
- Use a good quality blue cheese: This is the key ingredient in the gratin, so make sure you choose a blue cheese that you enjoy the taste of.
- Don't overcook the gratin: The potatoes should be tender but still have a slight bite to them.
