½ teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
½ cup evaporated milk
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Tips:

  • Use a good quality cheese that melts well, such as Gruyère, Cheddar, or Parmesan.
  • To make the gratin even more flavorful, add some herbs or spices, such as thyme, rosemary, or paprika.
  • If you don't have an Instant Pot, you can make this recipe in a regular oven. Just bake it at 375°F for 30-35 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • This dish can be made ahead of time and reheated when you're ready to serve. Just cover it tightly with foil and refrigerate for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, reheat it in a 350°F oven for 20-25 minutes, or until it's heated through.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs, such as parsley, chives, or thyme, before serving.
